Japan
On September 1, 1923, at 11:58 AM, the Great Kanto Earthquake struck Tokyo, the capital of Japan. On September 6, just five days after the disaster, nine peddlers, including a pregnant woman and small children, were slain near Tone River by more than 100 villagers, vigilantes among them, in Fukuda Village, Higashi-Katsushika in Chiba Prefecture. The victims were part of a group of 15 people, itinerant medicine vendors from Kagawa Prefecture. The villagers killed them, mistaking them for Koreans when they heard them speaking in their dialect. Eight vigilantes were arrested and sentenced to prison.
