Sorry for the translation tool. There might be some mistakes. On the left is "Bokusai", probably the name. I think it might be someone named "Iwaski Bokusai(岩城穆斎)". I can't read the lower part. I think it is an old Chinese character.
On the right side, I can recognize the middle one, "Sanzuki," but the rest is unreadable.

Right side is a date
丁卯三月製之 Made in March, year of the Rabbit (fire). Its a zodiac year. Could be 1987 or 1927 (or older, 60 year interval)
Left side could be indeed be 穆齊. The part below that is a monogram (花押). I don't think its Iwasaki Bokusai. I don't think he was a lacquer maker, and lacquer ages poorly unless its treated very gently.
