These are very nice early Japanese pieces that were likely trimmed from a hand scroll of story scenes. The red creatures depicted are called Oni [demons]. We inquired with a couple people who believe these are likely from the Edo period. Mounted in gilt wood and composition frames. Frames have some chipping.  Framed size: 15.75"w x 13"h Exposed Area of Art size: 8.5"w x 6"h
