Kashō (嘉承), also known as Kajō, was a special way to name years in Japan. It's called a Japanese era name or nengō. This era came after the Chōji era and before the Tennin era. The Kashō period lasted from April 1106 to August 1108. During this time, two emperors ruled Japan: Emperor Horikawa and Emperor Toba.
