{{nihongo|Juei|寿永}} was a {{nihongo|Japanese era name|年号|nengō|lit. "year name"}} after Yōwa and before Genryaku. This period spanned the years from May 1182 through March 1184.Nussbaum, Louis-Frédéric. (2005). "Juei" in {{Google books|p2QnPijAEmEC|Japan Encyclopedia, p. 435|page=435}}; n.b., Louis-Frédéric is pseudonym of Louis-Frédéric Nussbaum, see [http://dispatch.opac.ddb.de/DB=4.1/PPN?PPN=128842709 Deutsche Nationalbibliothek Authority File] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120524174828/http://dispatch.opac.ddb.de/DB=4.1/PPN?PPN=128842709 |date=2012-05-24 }}. The reigning emperors were Antoku-tennō (安徳天皇) and {{nihongo|Go-Toba-tennō|後鳥羽天皇}}.Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). Annales des empereurs du Japon, pp. 200-207; Brown, Delmer et al. (1979). Gukanshō, pp. 333-334; Varley, H. Paul. (1980). Jinnō Shōtōki. pp. 214-215.
Change of era
- 1182 {{nihongo|Juei gannen|寿永元年}}: The new era name was created to mark an event or a number of events. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in Yōwa 2, on the 27th day of the 5th month of 1182.Brown, p. 333.
Events of the ''Juei'' era
- 1182 (Juei 1): The entire country suffers a famine.Kitagawa, H. (1975). The Tale of the Heike, p. 785.
- 1183 (Juei 2, 25th day of 7th month): The Heike flee the capital with Emperor Antoku and Three Sacred Treasures.Kitagawa, p. 786.
- 1183 (Juei 2, 20th day of the 8th month): In the 3rd year of Antoku-tennō{{'}}s reign (安徳天皇25年), the emperor fled the capital rather than give in to pressures for his abdication. In Antoku's absence, the cloistered former-Emperor Go-Shirakawa then elevated his young brother by decree; and the young child was given the acceptance of abdication (juzen) rites.Varley, p. 216. The anti-Taira faction intended that the succession (senso) was received; and shortly thereafter, Emperor Go-Toba is said to have acceded to the throne (sokui).Titsingh, pp. 206-207; Brown, p. 334; Varley, p. 44; a distinct act of senso is unrecognized prior to Emperor Tenji; and all sovereigns except Jitō, Yōzei, Go-Toba, and Fushimi have senso and sokui in the same year until the reign of Emperor Go-Murakami.
- 1183 (Juei 2, 20th day of 8th month): Emperor Go-Toba is enthroned without the imperial regalia.
- 1183 (Juei 2, 20th day of the 8th month): Go-Toba is proclaimed emperor by the Genji; and consequently, there were two proclaimed emperors, one living in Heian-kyō and another in flight towards the south.Titsingh, p. 207.
- 1184 (Juei 3', 2nd month): Cloistered Emperor Go-Shirakawa orders letter to be written to the Heike demanding the restoration or return of the imperial regalia.
