Inscriptions,
萬代の春こそいふ - Yorozu no haru koso iu
水のふかみどり - mizu no fuka-midori
遊ぶ子龜らも - asobu kogame-ra mo
そぞろゆく追前 - sozoro yuku sakiotte
安守 - Yasumori
It is the very spring of the timeless existence
with the deep green color of waters
The playing little turtles go one after the another
Yasumori
癸未夏日冩 - Painted on a Summer Day of the Year of Water-Sheep (1883)
石斎 - Sekisai - Signature
長澂 - Chōchō (Nagasumi) - Upper seal - Could be the artist's original given name or courtesy name
宇碧天 - U-hekiten (At Blue Sky) - Lower, leisure seal
On the other hand I think the painter of this picture was an another Sekisai, although, I couldn't identify this one. I managed to identify four Sekisai-s, including Kuniyasu, but all turned out to be different.
With regards,
I.Nagy
