游　お蓮葉尓　遊　お竹葉尓
Asobi o-hasu ha ni Asobi o-take ha ni Play on lotus leaf, play on bamboo leaf
My reading of colophon,
お游冩書　-　O-asobi shasho　-　Painted and written as play
I don't have any idea about the marking

With regards,

Dear Imre Nagy!

Thank you very much for the translation.
It is very surprising that there is not a single word about a turtle drinking from a plate. It is a pity that there is no signature and the seal is unclear. And why here under the image was mentioned as the author of Hoitsu?

Sincerelly Yura
