The obvious ones

 

月浮海上

 

the rest will need deeper reserves than mine

 

edit: maybe the next one is 鬼, and maybe the last is something like 良 or 恨 or...? I can't help with an English translation, other than the literal translation image of the moon floating on the water. Usually with so many words picked out, an internet search will reveal which poem or which piece of literature it refers to, but I'm getting nothing.

OK, what I thought might be 鬼 (devil), might actually be 兎 (rabbit).

I owe Koichi-san a few beers too.

That looks like quite the Devil + Rabbit.

 

Crazy wave renderings too. Very interesting kozuka.

From the wave patterns, I would have suspected an Edo artist who was mentor to some of the later generations Nishigaki guys. Still, that Bunny is on the extreme side- so it probably isn't by him.

Was it signed?

 Hes French soooo you know lol ;)

;-)  Careful now.

It is a mighty PC, moral, etc. world these days.

 

[ I watched a show last night where a kid got kicked out of school for swearing at another kid. No physical fighting. He just cursed at the other kid, and the other kid cried. -Gone are the days when the gym teacher could paddle you so hard you couldn't sit down-.]
