workshop
厰 centers on a place where work is done: a workshop or factory.
厰 is a simplified variant of 廠, which combines 广 (building) with 敞 (open, spacious), suggesting a large open building used as a workshop. The modern form replaces 广 with 厂, a common simplification.
The outer 厂 is like a roof, and inside is 敞, which looks like a busy place with many parts. Picture a large workshop under a roof where things are made.
For ショウ, imagine a workshop where they make shoes: shoe -> ショウ, and the workshop is full of shoemakers.
