Seaweed, bamboo, lotus root, cabbage, radishes, cucumbers, and scallions are common vegetables for farming. Sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and chestnuts are also farmed, mostly used in sweets. Sweet potatoes and pumpkins, however, are not native to Koushima and were the result of crop trading. Fruits that are often cultivated are peaches, persimmons, oranges, plums, and yuzu.

Tea is a vital part of Seishin culture, having once been exclusively available by trade from Tianzhou. Tea farming was about as common as any, but strict regulations for its cultivation are far and beyond compared to other crops.

Cattle, pigs, and chickens are the primary livestock kept in Seishin pastures. While the latter two are harvested for meat and eggs, cattle have historically been used for labor. However, upon migrating to Nimoria, their beef, otherwise known as wagyu, has become a prized commodity, with its demand gradually increasing as time goes by.

More commonly, fish farming is a more reliable and available source of protein for the Seishin. Mackerel, sardines, gizzards, seabreams, and tuna are a few examples of choice catches. More specifically, skipjack tuna can be used in making bonito flakes, or katsuobushi (鰹節), as a seasoning or soup stock.

Pheasants, geese, and ducks were the primary game meats procured by hunters. Sometimes, they would also hunt rabbits.

These meats are typically reserved for the upper class, being more of a delicacy and a symbol of wealth than a main source of sustenance.

While natural resources were scarce in their homeland, the Seishin were known for their elegant craftsmanship, particularly in woodworking, and silk-making, leading many of their artisanal goods to become quite popular for foreign trade. Along with artisanal goods, Shinryoku is popular for its state-of-the-art entertainment services, which include theater, printmaking, literature, and painting.

In coming years, trade has become a widely promoted craft among aspiring youths, being that natural resources tend to fall short as a form of raw exports. Merchants have soared in status, being almost on par with nobility, and are typically the most sought-after occupation for those of humble origins.

Tea and flower cultivation also became more prominent in culinary, recreational, and artisanal use. Flowers, especially, were important in the creation of dye and aroma in cosmetics, clothing, and ink.

Mining has surged in popularity upon migrating to Nimoria, boosting the prosperity of the Seishin's formerly dwindling copper and silver industries.

The currency of Shinryoku matches whatever is commonly used across the other lands. However, pre-migration, they utilized a gold-based currency known as ryō (両), which was available in an ovaline shape with the engravings of the royal family.
