Usage notes
In Japanese, 写真 (shashin) refers to photographs in general. However, in contemporary Chinese, 寫真／写真 (xiězhēn) often carries sexual connotations, commonly associated with 寫真集／写真集 (xiězhēnjí, “photo book”) which depict cheesecake models and porn starlets, a meaning absent in its original Japanese form.
