    This one looks really familiar, but I can't find it.
    I suspect all of them are copies of well known Japanese artist.
    The mark may be the company that copied them.

    That was my thought as well, but she has a prettier face. The ones I looked at by Utamaro, the faces are longer and not so "pretty".

    Of the 4, it is really only that one that rings Utamaro bells for me.

    It looks more recent than Utamaro, and a different style.

    That is what I came to think as well.
