Le Bol De Lait Aino. Hokkaido, Japon 1958

"Le Bol de Lait Aino" is a 1958 woodcut print by French artist Paul Jacoulet (1896-1960), depicting a young Ainu woman in traditional dress holding a bowl of milk. Known for his portrayal of the indigenous people of Japan, Jacoulet's work combines a Western artistic sensibility with Japanese aesthetic principles, evident in the print's bold lines and flattened perspective. The artist's signature and the title of the artwork are prominently displayed in the lower right corner, a common feature of his woodcuts.
