Hello, This flower piece is another of the scrolls in my collection, purchased it from the same family as the previously identified Kikuchi Keigetsu painting (thanks to Mr Nagy!)

If possible, I would like help to identify the creator of this flower painting.
The scroll is rosewood mounted and has a paper label pasted at the end of the box.

I hope the images are clear enough - the seal inside the box is quite faint in the photograph so I've added an enhanced version.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
