Kozuka Mei translation needed

Hi dear friends,

 

your help to determine who made this kozuka would be of great help.

 

Thank you !

深船齊？　Shinsensai

 

I'm away from my books, so I'm shooting from the hip here. 

Hopefully someone can give better info (the last one doesn't feel right) 

 

Hamano Toshihiro used the gō of Shinsensai (真船齊), but the signature in the photo uses a different kanji for "Shin". But maybe this is somehow related?

Thank you so much Steve.

 

In fact Haynes under reference H10358 mentions Hamano Toshihiro signing Shisensai or Shitentei. My kozuka is under Hamano style influence anyway.

Back with my books: Wakayama says there is an unidentified artist who signed his pieces with 深船齊 (Shinsensai). There is no information on the artist, just the mei and Wakayama's one-word description "unknown". It is slightly rare that Wakayama lists a mei with the word "unknown". It just means he is aware of pieces that carry that particular mei, but he has no information on the artist. 

 

Also, there is a late Meiji - early Taishō artist named Kawasaki Toshihiro, who used the gō of 真船齊 (also 真船亭). I feel its possible that this guy could somehow be related to your 深船齊
