Dear Gabry,
The source "Record of Kun Xin Trigram Signs Readings" is Chinese, written in classical Chinese, The signature of the calligrapher also could be taken as Chinese, so I was right to assume that the calligrapher was also Chinese.
The photo you posted shows the last line of a longer calligraphy with the last character from the previous seven-character line on the top. This caused quite a bit of trouble in understanding until I realized it.
After that I didn't pay much attention to the attached seals.
Now, that I had read your answer and the seals, I did a little searching and realized that the calligrapher was Japanese.
Signature (in Japanese reading),
靑邨 Seison - Pseudonym
Upper seal,
廣瀬範 Hirose Han - Surname and private name
Lower seal,
世叔 Seshuku - Style name
Hirose Seison 廣瀬靑邨 1819-1884
Confucian scholar.
Served the Matsudairas, the lords of Funai Domain as teacher of classical Chinese. After the Restauration served as judge of Iwate Prefecture.
Inscription on the back of scroll,
廣瀬靑邨先生之書
Calligraphy of Mr. Hirose Seiton
With regards,
I.Nagy
