Incorrect Translation of Title
Though I have a pretty basic understanding of Japanese, based on the Japanese page, the "桃山人" (pronounced Tōsanjin) in the title is actually the author's name.
Here is my translation of the Japanese page's paragraph about the author:
The author is Tōsanjin (桃山人) (however, in the preface the author's name is written Tōka Sanjin [桃花山人]). According to the Kokusho Sōmokuroku (Iwanami Shoten), this is considered to be a gesaku author from the latter half of the Edo period, Tōkaen Michimaro (桃花園三千麿).
This is supported by the information provided by the Gerhard Pulverer Collection, whose site has scans of the entire work. It lists the author as Tōkaen Michimaro (桃花園三千麿). Caracal ( talk) 16:34, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Never mind, just fixed it.
