Môri Takasue was the 8th [[Edo period]] lord of [[Saiki han]] in [[Bungo province]]. He was known as a scholar-''daimyô'', and in [[1781]] he established the "Saiki bunko," a library or archive of books and documents, within the grounds of [[Saiki castle]]. The 80,000 or so books in this collection were chiefly Chinese works, but also included books on medicine, science, [[Rangaku|Dutch Studies]], and other subjects.
