The first seven characters are the first line of a frequently cited known Yuan dynasty time poem,
深谷高林自一天
From the first day deep valleys and high forests
(The continuation is not the second line of the said
poem - I can`t decipher it fully yet)
The last line with the signature reads,
詩畫於墨江客家 半江
Poem and Picture at Sumie(?) as guest Hankō
Name of painter: Okada Hankō 1782-1846、Japanese painter from Osaka
The seal in my tentative reading,
畫之翁半 Old Man of the Painting Han
Script on the outside lid of box,
岡田半江 山水圖 Okada Hanko Landscape Painting
(3rd line illegible)
Script of the inside lid of box,
岡田半江水墨山水圖
Okada Hanko Ink Landscape Painting
With regards,
I.Nagy
