After occupying Java the Japanese military attempted to redirect the human and the natural resources of Java into their own war effort. In so doing, they heavily relied on the local administrative corps, the pangreh praja (literally: the rulers of the realm). Therefore the Japanese, the pangreh praja and the peasantry are arguably the most important groups that should be studied if we are to understand the Japanese occupation on Javanese society.
