Woodblock. Hiroshige. Quite new. If we saw the entire picture we could tell you more.

These are Japanese woodblock prints by Hiroshige. The top print is from the Hoeido edition of his 53 Stations of the Tokaido. It is station #31 Maisaka. Your prints have been "creped". These don't look to be original prints but a later reproduction. Compare the red seal below the signature in the top picture to the original.

See link below for an original print.

Cheers,
Stan

The second print is station #52 Ishibe from the aforementioned series.

Cheers,
Stan
