Their demand was in response to some merchants buying all the rice in the market so they could sell it to the Japanese government for their troops in Siberia thereby doubling the price and making rice inaccessible for the common folks. The demands made by the group of women workers turned into a massive uprising, inspiring more than 1 million people to take action all over Japan. These riots were no accident but an organized resistance led by female laborers, who only earned 60% of their male counterparts. The Rice Riots were a turning point and laid the groundwork for the modern Japanese labour movement. \u003c\/span\u003eConfronted with the unprecedented scale of the uprising the government deployed up to 100,000 troops nationwide to quell the violence. This resulted in mass arrests, the detention of over 25,000 people, and dozens of casualties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEndless Lilin, based out of Hong Kong, has turned the memory of the Rice Riots into a beautiful print symbolising both the importance of rice for people's lives and people's power!
