Li Dan (trader)

Li Dan (trader)

Li Dan (李旦)(d. 1625) was a prominent early 17th century Chinese merchant. Sometimes known by the Western name Andrea Dittis, he was originally from Quanzhou in Fujian province.

Li operated out of Manila for a time before moving to Hirado, in Japan and becoming a part of the "shuinsen" trade, with a formal vermillion seal license from the Tokugawa shogunate. He served as the head of the Chinese community in Hirado, and maintained a residence in the English sector of the city.

Following his death, Li Dan's business was inherited by Zheng Zhilong, along with his role in the community.
