Pen Name
A pen name, also called a ''nom de plume'' or a literary double, is a pseudonym (or, in some cases, a variant form of a real name) adopted by an author and printed on the title page or by-line of their works in place of their real name. A pen name may be used to make the author's name more distinctive, to disguise the author's gender, to distance the author from their other works, to protect the author from retribution for their writings, to merge multiple persons into a single identifiable author, or for any of a number of reasons related to the marketing or aesthetic presentation of the work. The author's real identity may be known only to the publisher or may become common knowledge.

Edo Period
The or is the period between 1603 and 1867 in the history of Japan, when Japan was under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and the country's 300 regional '' daimyo''. Emerging from the chaos of the Sengoku period, the Edo period was characterized by economic growth, strict social order, isolationist foreign policies, a stable population, perpetual peace, and popular enjoyment of arts and culture.

Ukiyoburo
is a Japanese novel written by Shikitei Sanba between 1809 and 1813. It belongs to the kokkeibon genre, of which it is one of the masterpieces. Contents ''Ukiyoburo'' (Ukiyo Bath) depicts the humor of daily life and culture through the conversations of customers at the public bath. It contains illustrations from Utagawa Kuninao and Kitao Shigemasa (credited as Kitagawa Yoshimaru). Shikitei notes that his inspiration to base the story at a public bath was due to Santō Kyōden's (1802) and a rakugo performance by Sanshōtei Karaku. The text is composed of four parts contained within nine volumes: *Part 1: "Men's Bath", published in 1809 *Part 2: "Women's Bath", published in 1810 *Part 3: "Omissions from the Women's Bath", published in 1812 *Part 4: "Men's Bath Continued", published in 1813 There were advertisements for parts 5, 6, and 7, but they were never written.
