The design for July 2026 has been realised in memory of the Japanese Rice Riots, which began on 23 July 1918 against high prices and turned into a revolt up to then unparalleled in the country’s history in terms of scope, size and violence. Eventually, the events led to the fall of Prime Minister Terauchi’s government. As well as multiple riots across the country, the revolt also involved strikes by miners, shipyard and factory workers.
The Rice Riots actually began when approximately 10-20 female dock workers made a direct demand for rice at a warehouse in Toyama, Japan. 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. Confronted 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.
Endless Lilin, based out of Hong Kong, has turned the memory of the Rice Riots into a beautiful painting symbolising both the importance of rice for peoples' lives and peoples' power!
