Essentially a general idea of 'ie' includes four concepts as follows ; (1) a family with a close relatoin by blood, (2) a group of people who share the same livelihood, (3) an enterprise which bears the function of production and possession, (4) a social unit or structure with duration. As regards 'ie' in ancient times, the above-mentloned fourth concept cannot be distinctly observed, so the view that 'ie' had nor been established yet in those days is predominant. This paper, therefore, attempts to get an explication on the subject by approaching the structural model in the tales of "Nihon-ryoiki". The first purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship among constituent menbers of 'ie'. An 'ie' usually consists of a married couple and its quasi relatives, but there were no peculiar rules to combine them. On the contrary, there can often be seen an employment between a couple and others, so 'ie' had basically been a management system from the staiting point. The second concerns the management scale of 'ie'. A typical 'ie' was not a big scale management based on the slavery or patriarchal system but a nuclear family-type, and in the circle of founding and extinction of immatured individual management, a natural balance was kept between proprietor and those who had no 'ie' to belong to. The third is concerned with the historical environment of 'ie'. In the materials, there can be found the duty for 'ie' to help neighbors. and also the interdependence among them. The full growth of 'ie' was realized in the course of obtainning indivisibility and perpetuity by getting the expanded equilibrium of productivity of the whole community. The traditional view based persistently on family or possession has given a negative valuation to an ancient 'ie', but in the 8th century, under the ritsuryo system, 'ie' was already groping for the direction to develop its maturity.
