The artist's name is Masayoshi. -
For Hidari Mutsu Kaneyasu it was, yes. https://www.aoijapan.net/katana-mutsu-kami-kaneyasu-hidari-mutsu/

This Kaneyasu (Hidari Mutsu). This smith is known for writing backwards, as yours is. Not confirming it is a real Hidari Mutsu, just that it is at minimum purporting to be so.
