Inscription,
武陽城南泊船（堂）-　Buyō－jō　Minami Hakusen(dō）
Buyō－jō -　Edo Castle South
(Buyō is the archaic name of Edo)
Hakusen-dō　-　Pseudonym
Seal,
泊船　-　Hakusen + Handwritten 堂　＝　Hakusendō
Hakusendō　was one of the pseudonyms of Matso Basho
1644-1694 Famous poet of Edo Period, but he used to
paint paintings too. I could not find any Hakusendō
signature or seal print sample in my books, so I am perplexed
It would be difficult to know if your painting is genuine.

With regards,
I.Nagy
