The Han family of Lasem, also called the Han family of East Java or Surabaya, was an influential, aristocratic family of Peranakan Chinese and Javanese descent in the Dutch East Indies (today known as Indonesia).[1][2][3][4] The Peranakan branch of the dynasty became part of the 'Cabang Atas' or the Chinese gentry of colonial Indonesia, serving as Kapitan Cina or government-appointed community heads, while their Muslim cousins joined the ranks of the Javanese nobility (priyayi).[1][5] Both lines of the family came to power in the Indies through their alliance with the Dutch East India Company in the 18th century.[1] Originally from Lasem in Central Java, they figured prominently in the consolidation of Dutch rule in East Java and maintained a long tradition of government service in the Dutch colonial bureaucracy.[1][2]
