The Craft Workshop is a type of industrial chain building in Fall of the Samurai.
Description[]
True skill is expressed with sublime elegance.
A craft workshop improves economic growth in a province, as workers can produce their goods more efficiently.
Craftsmen of all kinds are vital to a province, and add to the quality of life for everyone. From the high lord to the simple peasant, all appreciate objects that are well made. Skilled craftsmen have always been admired in Japan, no matter what their individual trade. The master potter who creates a perfect pot is as well regarded as the scholar who can write beautifully, or the gardener who grows a perfect blossom. It is not only a Japanese accomplishment, but what sets such craftsmen apart is their absolute dedication to their work and, in the end, the almost-instinctive ability to make the very hard appear very simple.

Compared to their competitors, Silk Weaving Sheds and Cotton Weaving Sheds, craft workshops are the cheapest to build, and don't require any trade resources to build. They provide the best immediate increase to region wealth per cost of the three, but have poor wealth growth per turn. Craft Workshops take 22 turns to pay for themselves, making them a poorer short and long term investment choice than silk weaving sheds, which pay for themselves more quickly and also generate a higher base income. However, silk weaving sheds can only be built by factions that produce or import silk, while craft workshops are available to all factions.
