The signature reads "Kenzan", imitating the signature of famous Ogata Kenzan. The Japanese put that signature a lot on pieces in his style, but your examples are not specifically Kenzan style IMO. I agree that they are 20th c and most likely from Kyoto.

Hi Mat,
Thank you for the info about the signature. There are two different signatures,  which one reads "kenzan".

The two on the bottom of the last picture are signed "Kenzan" for sure, the one on the top might have a different first Kenji, but the second part of the name is also "-zan".
