Jacoulet's Early Life in Tokyo
From early in life he was deeply engaged with the Japanese language and culture – both informally and formally. This was coupled with life in a vibrant, cosmopolitan household. The family often played host to the Western and Japanese elite from business, government, and the artistic community. At the age of eleven he made a brief visit to Paris with his father. The trip would be the only visit to France in his lifetime. In Paris he saw the works of the European masters, but it is not recorded what effect the experience had on the boy. However, on his return to Tokyo he did he begin oil painting lessons under the painter Seiki Kuroda of the White Horse Institute, which was then the center of Western modernist painting in Japan.
