Does anyone knows who paint these Japanese painters are? Who is the owner of the signature?

The first two examples read ShoFu, which is a Japanese expression for the correct style in writing a Haiku (17 syllable poem). Possibly a pen-name.

The third piece, which looks to have been written on a Japanese stationery card, has been executed in a very ideosyncratic style by an eighty eight year old woman, whose name appears to have these three characters: CHO (bird) SHU (catch) SEKI (stone).

The two characters in the top left corner read CHUKO (filial piety), which probably gives a hint to the theme of the poem.
