Inscriptions on panels,
舩 - Fune - Boat
中村屋 - Nakamuraya
なかむらや - Nakamuraya
Inscription on suitcase,
中村屋 - Nakamuraya
Nakamuraya: Fictitious name of a "yakatabune" boat operator
(In the Edo period yakatabune was a Japanese style wooden boat on which guests could have a party while sailing on the river. It was a lavish pastime one way or another among rich merchants and high ranking people)
I read the signature of artist on the screen,
狂一筆 - Kyō-ippitsu (Mad one-stroke) -Pseudonym
Seal,
百 - Hyaku (Hundred)
(Hokusai's 百 seal is different style)
I can't identify the painter.
With regards,
I.Nagy
