Kadomatsu in the Shirakiya

Kadomatsu; Gate pines - Traditional Japanese New Year decoration placed in pairs in front of homes
Shirakiya; Could be a name of a restaurant etc.

Right,
柏樹圖画 - Picture of Hakuju
Seal,
常人 - Jōjin or Tsunebito - Fancy name

Could be Shimada Hakuju 島田柏樹 -1958
Disciple of Hirafuku Hyakusui

Pic.2,
Inscription reads,
商の神乃宮に詣り
かしは手をうつてあしつき
春のむしろ市

Akinai no Kami no Miya ni mairi
kashiwa-te wo utte ashi tsuki
Haru no mushiroichi

Visiting the Shrine of the God of Business
and clasping their hands, on their feet
Spring straw mat market

This is a "kyōka" or mad poetry with a twist at the end.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Correction,
Kadomatsu Shirakibeya naka
Kadomatsu in the Shirakibeya is correct.

Thank you very much for your help. You are at your height, as always. However, Shimada Hakuyu is unlikely to fit within the timeframe. My surimono dates from the end of the Bakufu or the beginning of the Maji era. That is 1860-1870 years. It is the largest in size - 38.1x51.4 cm. Do not believe it has many folds, as if it were made of origami.
