A {{nihongo|'''''kuri'''''|庫裏|lit. warehouse behind}} or {{nihongo|kuin|庫院|lit. warehouse hall}} is the [[kitchen]] of a [[Zen]] [[monastery]],<ref>Kinoshita, 259</ref> 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]] it now functions as the kitchen and administrative office for the entire monastery.<ref name="baroni">Baroni, 201</ref><ref>Watanabe, 34</ref>
