I am trying to get more information on Japanese woodblocks. it is set of 4 and I have it for the last 50 years.
I appreciate any information
I post another message with more photos.

There is no signature visible. However, I believe this is by Yoshitoshi from his series “Kyoudou Risshiki” (Instructive Models of Lofty Ambition) printed in 1885.

I can't find an example of your print. Below are links to prints from the same series:

Yours appears to be in poor condition.

Cheers,

I was wrong. More than one artist contributed to the series. See link below for your print (Hōjō Yasutoki from the series Instructive Models of Lofty Ambition by Kobayashi Kiyochika, 1885):

Thank you so much for the info. I believe you are correct. this is original woodblock. do you know the value?
I'm posting the other 3 woodblocks with full margin.
Thank you

The first print is in tough shape. Probably worth < $100. The triptych is worth upwards of $200. Sign up at artelino.com and you can view their past sales for selling prince. Similarly, search eBay for past sales.

The photos did not capture the print well, its very unclear. I cants see the mark on the print. But its a print from Kobayashi Kiyochika. A group Samourai warriors received by a dignatory is the title. Also know as "Kyodo risshi no motoi 教導立志基 (Instruction in the Fundamentals of Success.)" Its about the warrior Hojo Yasutoki coming to defend his brother Tomotoki from attack.
There should be a mark on the right side bottum, next to the feet. But I cant tell from your photo. The bottom from the print is also cut. See an example here in link.
