List of occupations
The following page lists all significant occupations in the Len'en Project, in order of appearance.
Shinto Priest[edit | edit source]
A Shinto priest (神主 Kannushi, lit. "God master"), also called Shinshoku (神職, lit. "God's employee") is a person in the Shinto religion who is responsible for the maintenance of a Shinto shrine as well as for leading worship of a given god. The characters for kannushi are sometimes also read as jinshu with the same meaning. The role of a Shinto priest was traditionally fulfilled by a male, but female Shinto priests can be found as well nowadays.
Originally, Shinto priests were intermediaries between gods and could transmit their will to common humans. A Shinto priest was a man capable of miracles or a holy man who, because of his practice of purification rites, was capable to work as a medium for a god, but later the term evolved to being synonymous with shinshoku, that is, a man who works at a shrine and holds religious ceremonies there. The clothes they wear, for example the jōe, the ebōshi and the kariginu do not have any special religious significance, but are simply official garments used in the past by the Imperial court. This detail reveals the close connection between kami worship and the figure of the Emperor. Other implements used by Shinto priests include a baton called a shaku and a wand decorated with white paper streamers (shide) called ōnusa.
Tsurubami is Shinto priest of the Senri Shrine. Tsurubami is described as an oppressive, manipulative dictator that both youkai and humans live in fear and ignorance of. Currently, they are on a vacation in the Outside World with Tsubakura Enraku and Yabusame Houlen taking over for them.

A youkai exterminator (妖怪退治屋 Youkai taiji-ya) is, in the Len'en Project, a human who specialises in taking care of youkai who causes mischief. This mischief may be the cause of an incident, or the youkai may simply be passing by without bad reason. Humans don't "exterminate" in a literal sense to mean "kill", only to punish them. Youkai fear Tsurubami Senri the most. This title is based on how the Touhou Project uses youkai exterminators.
