松洞主龜城老人 - Shōdō-shu Kijō-rōjin -
Shōdō-shu the old Man of Turtle Castle
Upper seal,
奥陽宗人 - Okuyō Shujin - Clansman of Okuyō (Inner part of Southern Honshu Region)
Lower seal,
自樂渇至 - Yearning for enjoyment (Leisure seal)

In the literature there is only one painter with
art name (gō)Shōdō;Matsuura Shōdō 松浦松洞 1837-1862 
His original given name was Kametarō 龜太郎 (Turtle boy) - this could be the connotation to the pseudonym and subject of picture.
He was a close associate to Yoshida Shōin, one of Japan's distinguished intellectual in the late years of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
According to literature only 6 original paintings are known from him !!!!!

With regards,
I.Nagy
