The Korinji Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organization, was founded in 2005 to fund Korinji's construction and to support its future residents. 17 acres (69,000 m2) of forested land were purchased by the Foundation for this purpose in 2008. Groundbreaking occurred in June, 2009 and Korinji was officially dedicated on November 3, 2013, with the completion of its training hall.
Meido Moore Roshi, a student of the Rinzai Zen teachers Tenzan Toyoda Rokoji, Dogen Hosokawa Roshi, and So'zan Miller Roshi, was installed as the first abbot; these teachers all carry the lineage of Omori Sogen Roshi, a well-known Japanese Zen master who was a successor of the Tenryu-ji line of Zen. In March 2018 Korinji's residential quarters were completed and the first period of formal monastic training began.
Korinji serves as the headquarters monastery and spiritual center for an international association of Zen practice groups called the Korinji Rinzai Zen Community, with nearby Ryugenji temple in Madison, Wisconsin being its primary branch. The monastery also houses Korinji Shugen Dojo, a Shugendo training center.
