A hairen (海人, "sea-human") is a sea-dwelling human or humanoid in Chinese lore, also called kaijin (海人) by Japanese sources.
According to a Chinese texts which were actually authored by Europeans, the hairen was human-like overall but possessed webbed feet and hands, and one was captured in Holland, who had loose drooping skin on her whole body, almost like she wore a piece of garment (specifically a paofu or long robe). This refers to the "marine woman" captured in 1403 (Mermaid of Edam [nl]) recorded in various sources,[2] though Dutch sources said she was covered with some aquatic substance (later assumed to be sea moss or seaweed).
The account of the "sea-humans" also recurred in Japanese sources dating to the Edo Period, such as Kaibara Ekken's Yamato honzō, which describe the creature as having skin that hangs down to the ground, like a pair of hakama trousers being worn.

^Japanese scholar Mozume Takami [ja] (1922)noted the Dutch woman found in Purmer Lake was the same as hairen described in the Kunyu waiji. Arianna Magnani's 2022 paper observed the hairen in Zhifang waiji referred to the 1403 event (marine woman found in a lake in Holland).
