Zen monasteries are self sufficient and monks have to take care of the temple, work in the fields or do other stuff to ensure their community has the basic necessities. Zen also teaches that everything is spiritual practice to a monk, even menial tasks. So a monk should always wear a kesa. A full size kesa would be in the way for physical work so they wear the rakusu as a scale model of the real thing.
