He self published many of his prints and worked with the most skilled woodblock carvers and printers of the day. He spared no expense in using the best quality materials, papers and pigments, including silver and gold, mica and other precious elements. Thus, his prints have a unique beauty and have survived the passage of time much better than many woodblock prints due to the quality of materials used. His lifetime output is generally thought to be about 166 prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis art became a great favorite with the American occupation troops, including General MacArthur who arranged for him to work at the Tokyo Army College, a center of educational and cultural activities for members of the occupational forces and Japanese citizens alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany illustrious people and museums collected his work including General MacArthur, Queen Elizabeth II, Greta Garbo, Pope Pius XII, President Truman, the British Museum and the Asia Pacific Museum. Today, it is widely revered, hard to find, as the editions were relatively small, and highly prized and collected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Panteek Antique Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44717105578053,"sku":"JCT25","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/0830\/6245\/files\/CUR006.jpg?v=1772809434","url":"https:\/\/www.panteek.com\/products\/paul-jacoulet-woodblock-print-the-jug-la-cruche-mongolie","provider":"Panteek Antique Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
