Kajō

For the era "Kashō" beginning in 848 CE and sometimes also referred to as "Kajō", see Kashō.

Kajō (嘉承), also romanized as Kashō, was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Chōji and before Tennin. This period spanned the years from April 1106 through August 1108.[1] The reigning emperors were Horikawa-tennō (堀河天皇) and Toba-tennō (鳥羽天皇).[2]
