## Statues

- The sculpted statues in `public/models/` listed in `tools/statues.json` are the game's own: designed for it, drawn
  as concept images (`tools/statue-concepts/`), turned into meshes with Meshy (https://www.meshy.ai, the owner's paid
  account), then sized, painted and baked by `tools/bake-statue.mjs`:
  - Nade-ushi, the reclining ox of the Tenjin shrine
  - Komainu with its mouth open (a-gyo), the guardian on the right of the way
  - Komainu with its mouth closed (un-gyo), the guardian on the left of the way
  - Inari fox holding the key of the rice store, on the left of the way
  - Inari fox holding the wish-granting jewel, on the right of the way
- The shrine cat is the Somali cat model credited below in a calico coat painted for it (`tools/paint-cat-calico.mjs`).

## Characters

- Seven characters in `public/characters/` (woman-furisode, girl-yukata, schoolgirl, traveler, grandma, miko,
  kannushi) are the game's own: designed for it, drawn as concept images (`tools/character-concepts/`), turned into
  rigged 3D models with Meshy (https://www.meshy.ai, the owner's paid account) and baked by `tools/bake-characters.mjs`.
- The others were chosen by the owner in the character workshop and shrunk by
  `tools/character-workshop/apply-approved-characters.mjs` (sources and licences: `tools/character-workshop/candidates.json`):
  - vroid-*: sample models of VRoid Studio by pixiv Inc. (Vita, Vivi, Victoria Rubin, Sendagaya Shino, Sendagaya Shibu,
    Sakurada Fumiriya, Darkness Shibu, HairSample Male, HairSample Female), CC0 1.0 as written in each file's own VRM licence
  - vrm-100avatars-olivia: Olivia from 100Avatars by Polygonal Mind (https://github.com/ToxSam/open-source-avatars), CC0 1.0

  (https://github.com/Mesh2Motion/mesh2motion-app, base and female mannequin, CC0 1.0) dressed in costumes, masks and big
  papier-mache heads modelled by this project's own code (`tools/character-workshop/build-yokai-costumes.mjs`, Blender).

## Animals

## Character animation

- Locomotion: `public/avatars/motion-source.glb`, the "Xbot" sample from the three.js examples (MIT repository;
  character and motions originate from Adobe Mixamo). Only its bones and its Idle, Walk and Run clips are shipped:
  `node tools/trim-motion-source.mjs` takes the mesh and the other clips out (2.9 MB -> 0.2 MB).
- Worship motions (`public/motions/ritual-clips.json`): Adobe Mixamo (https://www.mixamo.com), downloaded with the
  project owner's Adobe account and baked by `tools/convert-mixamo-clips.mjs`. Mixamo motions are royalty-free for
  use inside a game; the raw FBX files are not redistributed (see `tools/mixamo-raw/README.md`).
- Clapping, pulling the bell rope, washing, rinsing, shaking, receiving and the work of the stall keepers
  (`public/motions/pack-clips.json`): the human animation pack of Mesh2Motion (https://github.com/Mesh2Motion/mesh2motion-app,
  animations by Quaternius), CC0 1.0, converted by `tools/character-workshop/convert-pack-clips.mjs`.

## Voices, sound and music

- The voices of the people of the grounds (`public/voices/`) are generated with ElevenLabs (https://elevenlabs.io, the
  owner's paid account, commercial use included) and checked by ear with Whisper (`tools/make-npc-voices.mjs`).
- The cabin attendant's welcome in Japanese as the arrival shot begins (`public/voices/arrival/`) is generated the same
  way (ElevenLabs voice "Kinako"); the cabin chime before it is synthesised by the game (`src/arrival-sound.ts`), modelled
  on measurements of a recorded airliner chime that is not shipped (`design/arrival-descent.md` "Sound").
- The cabin attendant's pre-landing announcement in the plane's cabin (`public/voices/arrival/cabin-announcement.mp3`) is
  generated the same way (ElevenLabs voice "Kinako"); the cabin's noise under it is synthesised by the game
  (`src/cabin-sound.ts`): nothing recorded.
- The passengers' quiet talk in the plane's cabin (`public/voices/cabin/`) is generated the same way, in the voices of six
  of the people of the grounds.
- Recorded sound effects in `public/sounds/` come from ElevenLabs sound generation and from Pixabay (Pixabay Content
  License, https://pixabay.com/service/license-summary/), chosen by the owner, and from Freesound under CC0 (the shrine cat's
  purr: "Cat_Purr_Rain" by TSP-Talk, https://freesound.org/people/TSP-Talk/sounds/801280/; the bonfire by the kagura stage:

## Pictures with writing

- The notice-board sheets, the nobori cloths, the plaque of the great torii, the omamori on the counter shelf and both
  faces of the ema (`public/signs/`) are AI-generated images made for this project on 2026-11-12 with Google Gemini
  (gemini.google.com, Nano Banana) and ChatGPT image generation on the project owner's personal accounts, chosen by
  the owner, then cropped, cut out and resized by `tools/make-sign-pictures.mjs` (`tools/sign-pictures.json` names the
  source of each).
- The carved and painted ornaments of the halls (`public/signs/carvings.webp`: the frog-leg struts, the gable pendants,
  the lion and elephant heads at the beam ends, the openwork transoms, the gilt door fittings, the peony brackets of the
  porches, the carved panels of the gables) are AI-generated images made for this project on 2026-11-12 with ChatGPT
  image generation and Google Gemini (gemini.google.com, Nano Banana) on the project owner's personal accounts, cut and
  laid into one picture by `tools/make-sign-pictures.mjs` (design/surface-detail.md).
- The writing carved in stone on the balustrade posts, the stone lanterns and the guardians' pedestals
  (`public/signs/inscriptions.webp`: 奉納, 献燈, the donors' names, the year) is an AI-generated image made for this
  project on 2026-11-12 with Google Gemini (gemini.google.com, Nano Banana) on the project owner's personal account,
  cut down to its strokes by `tools/make-sign-pictures.mjs`; the names are invented.
- The shop signs and noren of the town before the gate, seen beyond the grounds (`public/signs/town-fronts.webp`:
  お茶, 和菓子, 土産, 蕎麦, 酒, 団子, 甘味処, 煎餅, and the boards 名物 力餅 and 名物 最中 on the side walls of the two
  corner shops) are AI-generated images made for this project on 2026-11-13 with Google
  Gemini (gemini.google.com, Nano Banana) on the project owner's personal account, cut and laid into one picture by
  `tools/make-sign-pictures.mjs` (design/far-scenery.md).
- The shrine's name carved down the stone pillar outside the gate (`public/signs/shagou.webp`: お参り神社) is the writing
  of the white nobori's picture above, cut down to its strokes by `tools/make-sign-pictures.mjs`.
- The picture sides of the ema for the years from 2028 (`public/signs/ema-rat.webp` to `ema-boar.webp`: the zodiac
  animals, each with its branch kanji alone and お参り神社) are AI-generated images made for this project on 2026-11-13
  with Google Gemini (gemini.google.com, Nano Banana) on the project owner's personal account, cropped, cut out and
  resized by `tools/make-sign-pictures.mjs` (design/sign-pictures.md).

## Leaves of the trees

- The painted leaf clumps of the seasonal trees (`public/trees/leaf-atlas.webp`: cherry blossom, broadleaf, momiji, ginkgo
  fans, pine needles, cedar sprays, bamboo) are AI-generated images made for this project on 2026-11-13 with Google Gemini
  (gemini.google.com, Nano Banana) on the project owner's personal account, keyed, greyed and laid into one picture by
  `tools/make-tree-leaf-atlas.py` (design/trees.md); the twig sprays in it are drawn by that script.

## Everything else

Seasonal trees (all but the leaf paintings above), first-person hands and ritual props, shrine props not listed above (shimenawa, porch, racks),
the synthesised sounds and music, omikuji texts and UI are original to this project.
