Newbie here! Hoping someone might be able to offer some help with an artist's mark on a watercolor I recently purchased at an estate sale. I was told it was a Japanese Shikishi print, but I have no knowledge in this area and wanted to see if I could find out the artist's name, or anything that would help me date it. Any help or insight would be most appreciated! Thanks!

The left side of the hanko looks like 金酒, the rest is hard to make out

And now I'm second-guessing myself, since the stroke direction isn't right for 金 and there's an extra stroke... Looks like it could be something with the 米 radical... 来 or 釆 maybe, but there's that line at its base, and it looks like it has 𠆢 on top...
When I squint the top right might have 厂 or 广 or 尸 radicals, or possibly wrapped in 囗 or 匚... and the one below it looks somewhat grid-like, so could be similar to 無 or 舞
I'm all over the place, hopefully someone else has some insight or can read the calligraphy
