Asian Horse Artwork Woodblock or Watercolor?

These pictures have me stumped. Parts of them look like they could be block printed and others look like they were painted(or difficult to block print). I bought them at the Habitat store. Originally they had a sticker for $50 each and then they put a sticker over that for $20. When I took them up to the counter the lady said, "these are worth around $800 each". I thought that was strange since they didn't really know what they were. I do know sometimes people say their things are worth a lot when they drop them off so that the store doesn't sell them too cheap. I can tell that they are done on high quality paper, I can see the fibers. Might be Mulberry? If they are block printed, I would lean towards them being Japanese, if painted Chinese. I don't think they are particularly old, probably less than 50 years. No information on the back, modern frames. I tried an image search but too many things came up. I was hoping a couple extra sets of eyes might be able to sort things out. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Markings are different so perhaps after Mokuchu Urushibara.

 

Thanks! I was able to find examples marked like mine. I don’t know why the prints are signed in different ways.

 

the lady said, "these are worth around $800 each"

if they were....she'd have taken them home by now....

 

Yeah, you would think that would be a great way to get good stuff. Out of all the people that I have met that worked at thrift stores, none of them seemed to be interested in collecting or reselling. I do know most of the thrift stores have rules about when employees can buy stuff.

 

Sorry, but it made me think of this 1934 New Yorker cartoon:

 

be that as it may......$1600.......moves people to action !

 

I think good will you can buy when you go off shift or something like that.
