Hyōbanki (評判記) were compilations of rankings and critiques of kabuki actors and courtesans published in Edo period Japan. They were generally published at the new year in Edo and Kamigata, reviewing and ranking the courtesans and actors of the previous year. Along with ''ukiyo-e'' woodblock prints and other publications, ''hyōbanki'' were important elements in the urban popular culture of the period. ==Actor ''hyōbanki''== A book called ''yarō hyōbanki'' was published in 1656, though many scholars consider the 1687 ''yakusha hyōbanki'' to be the first in the form. These were published regularly until 1890. Actors were ranked according to a fairly simple scale: *''Jō-jō-kichi'' (上々吉) Upper-upper-excellent *''Jō-jō'' (上々) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hyōbanki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
