Paul Jacoulet (1896–1960) was a French, Japan-based woodblock print artist known for a style that mixed the traditional ukiyo-e style and techniques developed by the artist himself. Jacoulet was born in Paris in 1896 and lived in Japan for most of his life.
Jacoulet is considered one of the few western artists to have mastered the art of woodblock printing sufficiently to be recognized in Japan.
His works are almost all of people, either portraits or full body images capturing some background details.
He has had a number of exhibits in the years since his death including two at the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena (1983 and 1990), the Yokohama Art Museum (1996 and 2003), the Riccar Museum in Tokyo (1982), and the Isla Center for the Arts on Guam (1992 and 2006).
