Historical research on the standardization of library cataloging rules in the early modern period of Japan was conducted. In the first chapter, the development and standardization of library catalogs and cataloging rules to keep pace with the modernization of libraries is discussed. Library cataloging rules have been standardized with an extraordinary steadiness with due regard to the library users\u27 benefit. In the second chapter, the history of cataloging rules as edited by the Japan Library Association (JLA) is summarized. In 1893, the year after the association was established under the name Nippon Bunko Kyokai; JLA compiled Wakantosho Mokuroku Hensan Kisoku, a manual of cataloging rules for Japanese and Chinese books. The rules were revised in 1910, 2 years after the association changed its name to the Nippon Toshokan Kyokai. The revised cataloging manual was called Wakantosho Mokuroku Hensan Gaisoku. These two cataloging manuals were based on the “title/main-entry system” and were the traditional cataloging in Japan before the Meiji Era. The “main-entry dispute” is the focus of the third chapter. In 1930, JLA decided to revise the cataloging rules, and in 1932 the JLA Cataloging Committee complied of a revision of the previous cataloging rules. Soon after, the so-called “main-entry dispute” arose, which eventually was resolved in favor of those who supported the “author/main-entry system,” based on the Western cataloging system. This system was considered the standard on the international level. In my conclusion, the standardization of cataloging rules is greatly necessary for the library world, but the standardization must be suited to each nation, each language and each character of letters in presenting its works
