The one print you show is signed by Ogata Gekko. I.Nagy will be able to help you with more information.

Cheers,

The title reads 'Yamato sakura, Kokushi gajô', (大和櫻 : 國史画帖 - The Rebirth of Japan - Picture album of our Nation's History), published in Tokyo by the Seibun Company, Showa 10 (1935).
Japan's history is illustrated on the basis of reproductions of famous Meiji period woodblock tripychs. The one that you show here was designed by Ogata Gekko.
