1@A cooking structure which houses a cooking range *kamado â}. Already in use in the ancient period, the term is believed to derive from kuroya •‰Æ (black house) - presumably a reference to the soot generated by the cooking range. The term was originally secular: the service structures of upper class residences in Heijoukyou •œé‹ž and in the residential compounds *tate ŠÙ of local government offices gunga ŒSåÉ of the ritsuryou —¥—ß state were referred to as kuriya in contemporary documents.

2@Also kuriyadono ~“a, moridono ·“a. In large temples of the Asuka-Nara periods, the kuriya was a service structure ancillary to the dining hall *jikidou H“°. It appears to have formed a pair with another cooking area called *kamaya Š˜‰® or ooidono ‘吆“a.

3@With the proliferation of priestly residences in the form of semi-independent subtemples *shi-in Žq‰@, especially from the Heian period in Esoteric Buddhist mikkyou –§‹³ temple complexes such as Mt. Hiei ”ä‰b, a structure to house cooking facilities became a necessity and to this structure the term kuriya was commonly applied. This kind of kuriya increasingly contained the administrative offices of the shiin and accommodated dependents. Gradually, it developed into the *kuri ŒÉ—¡.

4@In vernacular houses *minka –¯‰Æ of the Edo period in Shimane prefecture, an alternative term for *daidokoro ‘䏊, the room in the rear part of the house adjacent to the earthfloored area *doma “yŠÔ. Typically a room with a bare timber floor, equipped with a sunken hearth *irori ˆÍ˜F— , and used for cooking and as the principal family living room.
