**** 断捨離:だんしゃり;DAN-SHA-RI ****

Let me talk about how KON-MARI concept was made.

Simply and roughly talking, it began with MOTTAI-NAI, and then DAN-SHA-RI was proposed as the anti-thesis of MOTTAI-NAI. KON-MARI concept was created as a sophisticated style of DAN-SHA-RI.

As rough explanation,

MOTTAI-NAI: keep everything around you. waist nothing. respect the all efforts to create the things around you.

DAN-SHA-RI: Throw away all things you don't use. Keep the things you are using not the things which can be useful.

KON-MARI concept: Throw away things which does not excite (or "spark joy") you.

As for me, I am still captured by "MOTTAI-NAI" and can not accept "DAN-SHA-RI". KON-MARI? hmm, she is not so bad.

I can not explain these thing in detail refer to the movies.

MOTTAI-NAI:



One more "MOTTAI-NAI"



DAN-SHA-RI:



KON-MARI:
