You will want appraisal in-person by one who knows Japanese prints well. Famous auction houses can do it.
Pictures of portions of the pieces, framed or behind mats, do not tell whole story.
Important factors are if they have been trimmed, details of publisher and censor seals, condition of paper (folds? stains?), degree of faded color.
Some prints have been reprinted or reproduced (some many times) or have accepted 'states' or editions. Some reproduction sizes are not same as originals, so description details important.
Good luck,
Cal
