Plaque at the Orsay Museum in Paris for a photograph by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Lili Grenier dressed as a Japanese woman Circa 1888 Lili never had time to sit for Lautrec, who was eager to paint her portrait. She was distrusting of the Impressionist painter's terrible brush, fearing that the canvas would transform her face into a dazzling shade striped with yellow, green or purple," recounts François Gauzi in his posthumous Mémoires. Lautrec therefore had to settle for photography for his portraits of Lili. He made two paintings in which she wears a kimono. He also made a graphic satire of a pornographic nature, suggesting that their relationship was not purely platonic.

Google AI overview of a search regarding "bony" vs "boney": Both bony and boney mean having prominent bones or being very thin, but bony (with an 'i') is the standard, more common spelling, while "boney" is an accepted variant, often used to mean skinny or with visible bones, but also appears as slang for Napoleon Bonaparte or a surname. Stick with bony for general descriptions of thinness or bone structure; use "Boney" if referring to Napoleon.

Wikipedia screenshot from article for "Your Name" Live-action film On September 27, 2017, J. J. Abrams and Eric Heisserer announced that they were developing a live-action remake of Your Name to be released by Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot in cooperation with Toho, who produced the original film. The latter is to handle the film's distribution in Japan. Abrams and Heisserer were to be the film's producer and screenwriter, respectively. Heisserer stated that the Japanese right holders desired for it to be made from a Western point of view, with a transposition of the film's settings: a Native American woman living in a rural area and a young man from Chicago discovering they are magically and intermittently swapping bodies.
