1960s portfolio of chinese prints -

Any idea if these are from a story or known grouping of images?

Of what they are titled? 

Thank you in advance.

This is absolutely a wild guess -- because I cannot see for sure, clearly -- any opne of the images -- but this could be the story of Momotarō (Peach Boy).  

 

I say that because I think I see a monkey, a bee, a demon, and what could be a pheasant. 

 

If you see those, which are all elements of the story, you might care to read about it here to see if it's possible that's what the prints are illustrating:

I repeat, just a wild guess based on what I think I see.  I could be right out to lunch.
