Kakejiku(hangging scroll)

[zairuz]

Hi im new here and just wanting to have more knowledge of this. I do leave in Japan but im a foreigner. One of my friend gave me this scrolls and told me just do whatever i want to it. He even said i can sell this. Does this really have some value? I keep searching on internet but i dont see same scroll as mine as being sold. So i was wondering. If anyone can help me to appraise or sell this please help me thank you so much

In general, you shouldn't expect much value, unless one of them turns out to be by a famous master, which is highly unlikely.  #1 is an oddity - might even be a printed picture mounted on a hanging scroll - I can't tell.  #2 - 4 all look on first glance to be relatively modern, although #4 might be a bit older... but again, hard to tell from these photos.  #5 is likely to be an appreciation scroll given to a specific person... but a translation would tell for sure.
