This study aims to prove how a family-household system came into being and what physical form it took in the regions of Japan and Europe in the period of the transition to the Market economy. Based on, the Japanese ‘Ie’ which is responsible for succession of business, property and name, we set axes of lineal family, farming organism and housingfor the parallel and contrast. As a result, we proved that northern Europe Finland), central Europe (northern Germany) and southern Europe (Pyrenees districts) have the equivalent of Japanese ‘Ie’ (‘Grand House’).
