Kuri (kitchen)

Kuri (kitchen)

A kuri is the kitchen of a Zen monastery, [Kinoshita, 259] typically located behind the Butsuden (or, Buddha Hall). Historically the kuri was a kitchen which prepared meals only for the abbot and his guests, though in modern Japan the kuri now functions as the kitchen and administrative office for the entire monastery.Baroni, 201] [Watanabe, 34]
