Tea Ceremony / Acala Kakejiku

[Raijin]

Hi!

I wondered if someone can help me with my two favourite kakejiku. I had them both for a while, and they bring me a lot of pleasure, but I still am not sure of what is written there.

The first one is for Tea Ceremony I think, with the main kanji -

和敬清寂 - Wakei Kiyoshisabi (Harmony, respect, purity and tranquility) ??

Then the smaller kanji, I can only see three, maybe -

仙 ? 山 ? 人 ?

The second one is my favourite Acala. The first line of kanji on the right, I can only see 5, maybe -

浪 ? 城北西 ? 堂

An then the second line, on the left, I can see two I think, maybe -

? 字 ? 写

The red seals, really, I have no idea!

Thank you so much in advance if you can help me!

合掌!!

You've stumped me with most of this. The only things I can pick out are:

The calligraphy looks to be 和敬静寂, which Google-sensei tells me is a common misspelling of 和敬清寂.

The artist might be 仙到山人, judging by the hanko mark, but a search pulled up nothing on this (except for a place name "仙到山" in Korea, which might be a clue, but I couldn't find any relevant hits).

The bottom scroll is equally frustrating. Maybe 浪戔城, but again, no hits. The artist seemed a no-brainer for 弘泉 (with the whole line being 弘泉書写), but again the well came up dry. Under this name is the idiosyncratic rendering of 書, which might have some significance, but its beyond me. The hanko under the artist's (reproductionist's) name looks like 雲仙, but I think a search for this will just pull up a lot of misleading results.

和敬清寂 わけいせいじゃく wakei-seijaku, by the way. Not that I knew this, of course, but again, I refer to the almighty Google-sensei

Thanks a lot for your replies and effort Majestic, when I bought the first scroll, I thought the calligraphy looked quite simple and it would be easy for me to translate, here I am over a year later lol The second one interests me because, most of my venerative paintings and butsu-ga are unsigned, except maybe they have a red temple stamp on the reverse, so it was unusual for me to find one with an inscription.

When I translate the four characters you wrote - 弘泉書写 , google translate says 'Hiro Izumi shosha'. So I presume it translates as basically 'Hiro Izumi written copy'. But then I remembered mount Shosha, where there is the Tendai sect temple, Engyō-ji, but the principle deity there is Kannon, so I think I am overreaching lol

Anyway, thank you again for trying, I really appreciate it!!
