The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up

I've been moving out of my house into a new one and I've been ordering some storage/de-cluttering books and this one has been the most helpful and inspiring! I've taken some pictures of the folding portions and some quotes. The main idea is that if your items don't spark joy then it's time to get rid of them. There are some other tips in the book too that have really helped me like go through all your stuff by category instead of by room, folding techniques, and very respectful and soulful ideas of how you should view your items. (It seems like Japan has a very unique approach to items, such as the Yokai Tsukumogami or when an item is broken and is repaired by Kintsugi. I really love this and the treatment of much loved items. Really sparks joy!) Some people might find this ideas “far-out” but I think it's just giving your items respect and not being so materialistic.

I haven't read the book. I think the manga really sums it up and adds a couple of characters that you can root for and relate with. I really loved this read and I you happen to be doing some moving or spring cleaning I can't recommend this enough! ~Ashley
