Bow legs - Kyusoku

Japanese: 弓足 - きゅうそく
Bow legs - Kyusoku
Foot binding. (My Thoughts, No. 31, Bowed Feet) I don't know when women's bowed feet started. ~Women throughout the province value their small feet, but everyone else has red feet and doesn't wear kimonos. It all depends on the climate of each region.

See the entry for "bow" in the kanji dictionary.
