Your tiger painting is typical of those sold from kiosks along the Ginza in Tokyo in the early 1950s. Soldiers on R&R from the Korean war were the best customers. The paintings were produced in workshops by skilled but unknown artists using various names and seals.

Yes, my husbands grandfather has had them for a very long time , much before We were born and thats 40 yrs ago, my mother in law said she can remember them hanging on the wall when she was a child, and she is 63. I'm wondering if they are older...
