- Japanese: 東洋文庫 (touyou bunko)
The Tôyô Bunko (lit. "Oriental Archives") is a large Asian Studies library in Tokyo, one of the world's largest.
Its origins lie in a massive collection of China-related books obtained by Baron Iwasaki Hisaya, third head of Mitsubishi and eldest son of the company's founder Iwasaki Yatarô, in 1917, from Australian journalist George E. Morrison.
