"Vieille Aïno, Chikabumi, Hokkaido, Japon" (Old Ainu Woman, Chikabumi, Hokkaido, Japan) edition 53 of 350 from 1950 depicts an elderly Ainu woman from the Indigenous people of Hokkaido — a member of Japan's historically marginalized First Peoples, whose traditional way of life and distinctive appearance attracted significant artistic documentation in the early Showa period. Chikabumi was a settlement near Asahikawa in central Hokkaido where a significant Ainu community lived. Jacoulet's portrait of this elder carries his characteristic respect for human dignity across cultural boundaries.
