Kyōwa


Kyōwa was a Japanese era name after Kansei and before Bunka. This period spanned the years from February 1801 through February 1804. The reigning emperor was Emperor Kokaku of Japan.

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".
