Hello and happy holidays to all. Can anyone help me identify this painter? He may be a student of Takeuchi Seihô, there is some resemblance to Mochizuki Seihô 青鳳 望月, but I am unable to interpret the characters or the seal. Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Andrea

Signature and seal read 明鳳, meihou. The character on the scroll is tiger, tora. I can see why you connect this to Takeuchi Seihou. The name and the style of signature and seal are pointing there too, but I have not the material to identify the artist.
The son is also called Takeuchi Meihou, but is written 竹内鳴鳳. I do have a painting of him, he is not your man.

Hi Peter, thanks for your reply. I was talking about Mochizuki Seihô (1886-1931), not Takeuchi Meihou. Mochizuki Seihô's original name was Tsukamoto Seihô. He was born in Tokyo and became the adopted son of Mochizuki Kimpô (1846-1915). He became a pupil of Takeuchi Seihô and Yamamoto Shunkyo. I thought I saw similarities with his signature and his seal.
Cordial greetings,
Andrea
