The Ancient Japanese kitchen, known as the daidokoro, was a place of culinary artistry and precision. The design of an Ancient Japanese kitchen was influenced by the principles of Zen Buddhism and the concept of wabi-sabi. It typically featured a hearth for cooking, clay pots for storage, and various utensils for food preparation. The kitchen was often located near a water source, such as a river or well, for easy access to fresh water. The design was minimalist and focused on simplicity, cleanliness, and harmony with nature.
