Seem to be two artists working in the Nihonga tradition.

1- 養巣, probably 千地養巣 (Senji Sôsu, born 1898 and working during the Showa period)
2- 秀俊 (Hidetoshi or Sujun?), found no further info.

Kontani Kōshun 紺谷光俊　1890-1945 and
Chigusa Kotani (Japanese, 1890 - 1945) share the same dates, but I presume are different artists?
The dates are coincidental.
Many thanks again.
Respectfully
-Michael
