I have a Scroll that was purchased in 1972 from an art dealer in Kyoto, Japan. Are the symbols on the scroll the name of the artist? What do the symbols say (or represent)? Thanks for any help!!!

Correction,
Based on information I received later, I need to revise my above reading of signature;
Signature,
英象繪　- Eishō-e -　Picture of Eishō
Seal,
英　-　Ei

Yamashita Eishō　山下英象　1912-？
Kyōto based painter and hanga artist.

With regards,

I have a 4 panel screen purchased from Eisho in 1973. Is it of any value

It will be helpful if you provide photos of the screen. How large are the panels? Any obvious signs of damage or attempted repairs? Do you have provenance? It's difficult to answer your question without more information.
