Kyōwa

For other uses, see Kyōwa (disambiguation).

Kyōwa (享和) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Kansei and before Bunka. This period spanned the years from February 1801 through February 1804.[1] The reigning emperor was Kōkaku-tennō (光格天皇).

Change of era

The new era name was drawn from an hortatory aphorism: "Follow Heaven and take your destiny, unite all people and perfect your righteousness" (順乎天而其運、応乎人而其義).
