Lower seal,

Fukunaga Kōbi 福永公美 1872-1934
Learned painting from Toyohara Kunichika and Ogata Gekkō. Was awarded the first prize in the St. Louis World Fair in 1904. Was selected for the 8th, 11th and 12th Bunten. He was a little bit eccentric in his private life.

I. Nagy I found other inscriptions on the scroll and was wondering if you could tell me what they say.

Pic.1,
福永公美 - Fukunaga Kōbi
Pic.2,
東畒   - Tōho

Tōho was his original given name.

Meantime from other sources I found out that the Fukunaga surname was also an acquired one. His real surname was Hirose 廣瀬.
