The family of the deceased painter, Tanaka Isson, have threatened to
block production of the film _Adan_ based on Isson's life. The film,
directed by Igarashi Sho and financed by the cosmetics company DHC,
will focus on a relationship between Isson and a fictional character,
the young girl named Adan. The family argues that the fiction warps the
real image of Isson and constitutes defamation of character. They have
refused to let the filmmakers use images of Isson's paintings in the
film and threaten a lawsuit based on violation of copyright even if a
painting that looks like Isson's paintings is used.
