Sukesada
Hi Miko.
In my opinion, seems to be the 祐定 kanjis, which can be read as SUKESADA's mei. The swordsmiths from this school are indeed bizen, going from muromachi to late edo period. Yours seems to be muromachi. You will find a lot of information on Sukesada's swordsmiths on nihonto club website and on other Internet ressources. The quality of those blades are very variable from a smith to another. For example, some of them are poor quality blades (kazu-uchi mono) because of the great demand for blades during the sengoku times.
