Signature,
枩蔭圖　-　Painted by Shōin
Seal,
松蔭　- Shōin

In the absence of suitable online reference works I cannot decide which Shōin (松蔭　or 松陰 is among the five who are known in the painters` name register.

枩　=　松　　蔭　=　陰 (隂)

With regards,

Peter,
You are right. The signature reads more reasonably;
益信圖　-　Masanobu -zu
Seal；
松蔭子　-　Shōinshi
I found the seal in the　日本書画落款印譜集成/柏書房
p.331
Regards,
I.Nagy

Thank You for the information. I am a bit confused but is this a copy of Masundou done by artist later named Shoin?

No, I am sure this is an original painting by Touun Masunobu.
Sometimes its just difficult to read handwritten characters and seal prints and you actually need the experience of having seen a reference painting of the painter you could remember.

Just to make it clear;
Name;
Kanō Masanobu 狩野益信　1625-1694
Kanō school painter、adopted son (son-in-law) of Kanō Tanyū.
His childhood name was Yamasaburō 山三郎
His common name was Uneme 采女
and his pesudonyms were;
Tōun (Dōun) 洞雲
Sōshindōjin 宗深道人
Shōinshi　松蔭子 (Person in the shade of pine)
The pseudonym 洞雲 Tōun is used to distinguish
him from the earlier Kanō Masanobu 狩野正信　1434-1530　- however his name is written with different characters.

With regards,
I.Nagy
