*''Japanese'': 式亭三馬 ''(Shikitei Sanba)''
Shikitei Sanba was a significant literary figure of the early 19th century. His ''[[kokkeibon]]'' (humorous books) and other works are prized for their depiction of the vibrant life of working-class urban communities. Two of his most celebrated works are ''[[Ukiyoburo]]'' (Floating World Bathhouse, pub. [[1809]]-[[1813]]) and ''[[Ukiyodoko]]'' (Floating World Barbershop, pub. [[1813]]-[[1814]]).
Sanba was born and raised the son of a professional artisan, a woodblock carver. He opened and ran his own cosmetics business while also writing books, and working with publishers to get them published.
In [[1818]], he contributed to the revision of ''[[Ukiyo-e ruiko]]'', a volume about ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' woodblock prints.
