Sorry, Mr Nagy is correct. The artist is indeed Utagawa Yoshifuji.

The print is signed 一梅斎芳峰画 (Ichibaisai Yoshimine ga) refering to Utagawa Yoshimine (act. from ca 1850 to the 1870s). Yoshimine was a pupil of Kuniyoshi. I can't identify the publisher's mark but this print was issued around 1850 and is probably a panel of a triptych depicting a warrior scene.
