These are three beautiful Japanese hanging scrolls (kakemono) in traditional ink and color on paper, mounted on silk brocade.
Scroll 1 (Left): Features a hawk or eagle perched on a willow branch in monochromatic ink wash (sumi-e). The artist signature reads "Keishin" (桂信) with red seals. The mounting is dark charcoal gray silk with a subtle pattern.
Scroll 2 (Center): Depicts a moorhen or waterbird among reeds and lily pads in a minimalist composition. Signed "Kōshi" (孝之) with a red seal. The mounting is deep navy blue silk.
Scroll 3 (Right): Shows white iris flowers with green leaves against a warm beige background. Artist signature appears to be in the same hand as one of the other scrolls. The mounting is dark teal-green silk.
All three scrolls are stored in bamboo cases (tomobako) with calligraphic inscriptions that likely include the titles and artist information.

Variable sizes, approximately up to 5 ft high by up to 30 in wide.
