There is one sentence in this article that puzzled me:

"In primitive and ancient history, all teen-aged children built their
own huts or houses except for the children of the wealthy. Others lived
in a large extended family house or hut, and inherited it when the
parents passed away." (last paragraph in the Effects section)

Can anyone tell me what time in history and which region of Japan
(if it is Japan at all) this referes to?
