The Fucha-ryori is the gastronomic culture of the Ohbaku-Zen Buddhism which was originated by Ingen, the highest Zen Buddhist of Ming dynasty who was invited to Japan by the 4th Shogun Ietsuna, wishing to reestablish the Buddhism in Japan during the Edo period. In 1654, Ingen and his disinguished intellectual group of people from the Ming dynasty of China, had arrived in Nagasaki and settled at the Kofukuji, where it became the center of the new philosophy and cultures of those days in Japan. The Fucha means to have tea or meal together at the round table without recognizing social statuses of gathering guests so to create a friendly atmosphere.The Fucha-ryori is the Kofukuji's traditional culinary art of vegetables.
