I can't see the last picture very well. Maybe Toyo?

Toyo is a distributor. It markets a variety of Japanese porcelains, Kutani, Satsuma, Botan, among others. It uses paper labels in conjunction with fired kiln marks and also stand-alone stamps as yours. When there are no other marks, there is no way to identify the kiln. Cheers, Val
