Greetings. Can you help me with the translation of the handwriting?

I also have another scroll, but I don't know the author of this one either.

竹邨桑居　Chikuson　Sōkyo
Upper (Leisure) seal,
x芳　ｘhō
Lower seal,
田逸　Taitsu (Ta from Tajika 田近, Itsu 逸　was his original given name)

Tajika Chikuson 田近竹邨　1864-1922
Nanga painter
Studied painting in Kyōto from Tanomura Chokunyū. Founded the Nanga-in, and contributed to the development of the Nanga in in the Taishō period.

With regards,

I looked at the painter's biography; very interesting. My warmest thanks for your attention, Mr. Nagy.

Signature reads,
逸峰名草芳　　Ippō Nagusa Yoshi
Seal,
名草芳印　Seal of Nagusa Yoshi

Nagusa Ippō　名草一芳　1820-1889
Yoshitarō 芳太郎　was his nickname, where the Yoshi has come from.
In Kyōto studied painting from Oda Kaisen. In the Meiji era he lived in Hiroshima, where he taught painting. Exhibited at the 2nd National Industrial Exposition (1881) and the National Competitive Painting Exhibition (1882) where he received honourable mentions、respectively.

With regards,

Correction、
Nagusa Ippō 名草逸峰　1820-1889　　is correct

I.Nagy

Thanks again Mr.Nagy. His knowledge is formidable! Thanks for your help. I searched online for information about the author, but I found almost nothing except this article: https://yuagariart.com/uag/hiroshima10/
