Signature reads,
貞雄 - Sadao
I can't read the seal.
In the name registers there are 3 Japanese painters listed with given names Sadao (貞雄)
l, Gotō Sadao 五島貞雄 a.k.a. Gotō Kōho
(五島耕畝)1882-1958
2、Katayama Yōkoku 片山楊谷 1760-1801 his original given name was Sadao
3, Murakami Sadao 村上貞雄
I could not find any biographical data about him, except his "Hundred Flowers Drawings" woodblock print album was published in 1932 by Unsōdō (芸艸堂). I would opt for him.
With regards,
I.Nagy
