Kan Chazan (or Sazan) was a prominent ''kangakusha'', or scholar of Chinese studies, in the mid-[[Edo period]].
He was the eldest son of a [[sake|saké]] seller, but passed on the family business to his younger brother in [[1786]], devoting himself more exclusively to his studies. This came after some time spent studying in [[Kyoto]] and [[Osaka]] before establishing his own private academy (''juku'') in [[1781]].
His personal collection is known to have included objects related to the [[Ryukyuan embassies to Edo]].
