I have got an email from the owner of a famous Japanese Antique shop who thought that these paintings were extracted from a study (sketch book) and were painted in the late years of the Edo. However, close examination of the album revealed that the paintings were done by a number of different painters. I think that they were collected by an American Japanese artlover during his stay in Japan.
