"Souvenirs d'Autrefois Japon" (Memories of the Past, Japan) from 1941 turns to Japanese historical or nostalgic subjects — figures or scenes from Japan's past rendered with Jacoulet's signature chromatic richness. His Japanese historical subjects occupy an interesting position in his catalog: as a French artist who had lived in Japan since childhood, his "memories of the past" Japan were simultaneously intimate and exoticized, inside knowledge filtered through an outsider's capacity for fresh observation.
