What it is
A made-up shrine. Its layout (the approach, the water basin, the hall, the Inari and Tenjin shrines) and its manners (two bows, two claps, one bow) are learnt from real shrines. It belongs to no real shrine or religious body and does not ask anyone to believe anything.
What we hold to
- Quiet. There is no chat between visitors; only their sounds and figures reach you.
- Your own hands. Every rite is traced with a finger or the mouse, one step at a time.
- Open to anyone. Free, nothing to install, 13 languages, on a phone or a computer.
- Keep little. We keep only what we need, and say what it is for.
How it is made
Cel-shaded 3D with three.js. Every building of the grounds is put together by the program; people and animals are free CC0 models and models made for this shrine. The servers run on Cloudflare. The materials we use are listed in the credits. Credits
