Jōwa (承和) was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Tenchō and before Kashō. This period started in January 834 and ended in July 848.[1] During this time, the emperors were Junna-tennō (淳和天皇) and Ninmyō-tennō (仁明天皇).[2]
There were disturbances when Emperor Junna abdicated; and this time was called Jōwa no Hen.[3]
Coins minted from 835 to 847 were known as Jōwa-shōhō.[10]
