## What it is
Kage is an interactive five-chapter night walk through a Kyoto mountain temple, rendered live in Three.js/WebGL with procedural architecture, lighting, fog, rain, and post-processing. It is a deliberately small static site with no build step, combining a live 3D camera path with editorial typography and generated imagery layers.

## Use cases
- experience an interactive WebGL storytelling site about a Kyoto temple
- study how to build a scroll-driven Three.js camera path
- learn procedural scene construction in Three.js without a build step
- remix a single-file creative-coding WebGL experience
- explore scrollytelling with layered WebP imagery over live 3D
- find a reference for reduced-motion and responsive WebGL design

## When to choose
- you want a self-contained, no-build creative WebGL site to study or remix
- you need an example of scroll-choreographed Three.js scenes with post-processing
- you want inspiration for interactive storytelling with Japanese aesthetic design

## When to avoid
- you need a reusable 3D engine or framework rather than a one-off art piece
- you require a permissive license for reuse (no license is provided)
- you need a CMS-driven or data-backed website rather than a static art experience
