Vintage Japanese Hakata Urasaki? Figures

Description

Description
:
I bought these pieces some 35 years ago at a house sale in New Jersey and have enjoyed them in my library sitting on a shelf.
I love the expressions on the figures' faces.
When I researched these to list, they seem similar to Hakata Urasaki, but these seem to be made of a paper mache material.  (One piece was damaged; when I opened it, it was a very light-colored material, very dense....certainly not a porcelain, however cold like a clay, but fairly light in weight.)
They may be another maker; I'm afraid I just don't have the expertise to say definitively.
The figures are between 4.25” to 5” high.
Only one has a label, “Made in Japan.”
Condition
