*''Editor/Author: [[Terashima Ryoan|Terashima Ryôan]]''
*''Japanese'': 和漢三才図会 ''(wakan sansai zue)''
The ''Wakan Sansai Zue'' is a 105-volume [[Edo period]] encyclopedia compiled by [[Terashima Ryoan|Terashima Ryôan]], and published in [[1712]]-[[1714]]. It was essentially a Japanese version of the Chinese ''[[Sancai tuhui]]'' compiled in [[1609]] by [[Wang Qi]] and [[Wang Siyi]].
The encyclopedia is organized into three sections, Heaven, Earth, and Man (天地人, ''ten-chi-jin''), each of which are then subdivided. The "Heaven" volumes contain sections on the calendar and the seasons; the "Earth" volumes contain sections on mountains, water, metals, plants, and minerals, and the "Man" volumes cover ethics, religion, customs, and tools.
