I would greatly appreciate any help in deciphering for me the Signature and the Seals on this Asian artwork

The artist for your Japanese print is Shumbaisai Hokuei (active 1825 - 1837). It was printed in 1831.

The Waseda University Theater Museum has a copy of your print, but their site was down when I was trying to access it. Use the link below to access their site.

Cheers,
