''Sairan igen'' is a five-volume work on world geography compiled by [[Arai Hakuseki]] in [[1713]].
Hakuseki's encounter with the Italian missionary [[Giovanni Battista Sidotti]] in [[1708]] is said to have inspired in him a great interest in geography, leading to this work. The ''Sairan igen'' is interesting in that it seems to take Europe as the center of interest, with Hakuseki relegating sections on Japan to the "Asia" volume of the set.
