Hello, can you post a close up photo of the red stamp on the top right. :)

With the poor picture provided it is hard to say much. It looks like the artist is Kunisada (aka Toyokuni III). The signature looks like one he used in the late 1840s but without a better picture I can't say for sure. Given the poor and faded condition it isn't worth much - <$100.

Cheers,
Stan

I found your print (Plum Garden at Night) online. It is a fuzzy photo but it will give you an idea of what the colors should look like. See link below:
