Shrine

In the game's words

How to use it

A Shrine can be built by the Japanese and is similar to a House, but is more expensive and has more hitpoints. It can be used to toggle between Food, Wood, or Coin, and when placed near certain animals that can be hunted or made livestock, it will attract and task up to four animals to produce extra resources of whatever variety Shrines are currently producing.

History

A Japanese Shinto shrine and the surrounding natural area are called a jinja, and its sole purpose is for the enshrinement and worship of a kami, a god within a natural object, such as the trees or the sun. It is believed that jinja were originally constructed as temporary shrines for periodical festivals held at holy sites, such as on a mountain or near a cave. It was believed that kami migrated from place to place and could not be confined. A jinja has several parts. The honden is the building that contains the goshintai, which literally means, “the sacred body of the kami.” It is usually small and undecorated and only accessible to the Shinto devout. The torii gates serve as the scared entrance to the jinja space, and are perhaps the most recognizable feature.
