Good morning. Can anyone help me with the translation of the writings and seals? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

飛帆速渡　-　Flying sail, speedy crossing
乙亥春三月於竹深之心口
In March of the　Wood-Pig (...1755,1815,1875..) at the Heart of Deep Bamboo　口.
(I can`t read the last character)
墨口中　心年叟寫　
In the Ink　口、　Painted by the Old Man Shin`nen
（I can`t read the character in the middle)
Upper seal,
谷肅　-　Kokushu (or Tani Shu)
Lower seal,
心年　-　Shin`nen
Leisure seal,
大小二篆八分　-　Dai-shō Ten Hachibun - Great and Small Seal Scripts are the Hachibun*
*(Hachibun; Bafen in Chinese - ancient style Chinese calligraphy)

Inscription on the back,
心年　秋景山水　- Shin`nen, Autumn Scenery Landscape

I can`t find artist named Shin`nen.
However, according to the largest Japanese ID dictionary, Sōami 相阿彌　-１５２５ has used the pseudonym Shinsō 心叟,　The Old man Shin.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Dear Nagy, starting from the characters 心 年 (the translator gives me back: Shinka) then I arrived at Shirasu Shinka 白 須 心 華, 1870-1939. I found confirmation in some pictures on the net. I attach those of the seals on a wooden box. So the cyclic year could be 1935. Once again your help has guided me! Thank you very much.

Could the last character be 緯？
