瓢簞 is also given on the wiki article, but the form doesn't seem to accept it. It appears to be more of a Chinese thing, actually, but it does turn up a VERY small number of J-pages (less than 200). The second kanji isn't even in the database here. |

http://www.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp/museum/ouroboros/03_02/shouzou.html (for the second definition) http://www.aisf.or.jp/~jaanus/deta/z/zoushu.htm |
| Comment | Tom Gally gives "a person who is the model for a portrait, sculpture, etc.", but I fear this is too general. The term seems to be strictly used for models of portraits and busts (except in its historical usage). "Subject" is thus more appropriate.
