I'm not familiar with Japanese (I only started learning it very recently), but I think I can make a pretty good guess based on my knowledge of Chinese Hanzi (from which Japanese Kanji is derived from).
"漢/汉" refers to the Han race, the ethnic group that makes up the vast majority of Chinese people. It's the same character that's used in "漢語/汉语" (Chinese language) and "漢字/汉字" (Chinese characters). "方" means 'side'. I'm guessing it's used to mean "Chinese side" in the same way "西方" refers to the West. For what it's worth, I looked up "汉方" in my Chinese dictionary and it just says "Kampo {ie. the Japanese form of Chinese medicine}, so it looks like the two characters were combined in Japan after Hanzi and Kanji became two separate things.
