Japanilaisuuden perusteet. Maailmankuulu kodin järjestyksen mestari Marie Kondo avaa kirjassaan Kirje Japanista kotimaansa elämäntapaa ja kulttuuria sekä niiden vaikutusta hänen omaan elämäänsä. Marie Kondon KonMari-metodi on tullut tutuksi miljoonille ihmisille ympäri maailmaa. Kondon ajattelu pohjautuu vahvasti japanilaiseen kulttuuriin, jossa ikivanhoja ajattelutapoja ja sovelletaan saumattomasti moderniin elämään. Kirje Japanista valottaa japanilaisuutta Kondon omakohtaisten kokemustensa kautta. Kondo kuvaa tärkeimpiä ajatteluunsa vaikuttaneita asioita, kuten teeseremonioiden pieniä yksityiskohtia, ruokakulttuuria, puutarhanhoidon taitoa ja vuodenaikojen vaihtumiseen liittyviä rituaaleja. Kirja on myös eräänlainen testamentti, jossa Kondo kertoo niistä japanilaisen kulttuurin ilmentymistä, jotka tuovat hänelle iloa ja joiden hän haluaisi säilyvän lapsilleen ja tuleville sukupolville. Marie Kondo (s. 1984) on maailmankuulu japanilainen järjestelyasiantuntija ja tietokirjailija. Kondo tähdittää myös suureen suosioon nousseita Netflix-sarjoja Kodit järjestykseen ja Iloa säkenöivä elämä. Marie Iida on kääntänyt KonMari-teokset englanniksi, ja hän on työskennellyt Marie Kondon kanssa televisiosarjassa Kodit järjestykseen.

From bestselling authors Genki Kawamura and Marie Kondo comes a collection of heartwarming and whimsical short stories, based on Marie's personal experience of tidying over 1,000 rooms. Miko is a professional tidier, with a secret. When she enters a room, she is greeted by the voices of every object inside. Visiting her clients, she finds the whispering wardrobe, filled with chatty clothes; the singing study, full of talkative books; the bickering kitchen with its disgruntled drawers of cutlery, and more. Each item: a book, a childhood toy, a jar of miso paste, evokes a new memory for its owner, and what starts as the simple task of tidying a room becomes something profound and life-affirming. With the help of her talking box, Hako, Miko helps people reconnect to themselves and their loved ones through the items that they find in their rooms. As they sort through their rooms, they discover what is truly important in their lives, and what it takes to spark joy.

The brand new book from bestselling author and television personality Marie Kondo, exploring her cultural roots and revealing the aspects of Japanese culture that are intrinsic to her world-famous tidying method. The six chapters in this book - Cherish, Perfect, Consider, Harmonize, Purify, and Savor - represent guiding principles by which Marie leads her life every day. They also define the values that flow through the arts, rituals, and sensibilities of Japan. We discover why appreciating the beauty of sakura, cherry blossom, allows for a moment to deeply experience a season through a single entity (Cherish). In the traditional tea ceremony, we see the importance of kiwameru, the Japanese word for achieving mastery or perfection (Perfect). In umami, we taste how something simple and delicious can nourish the heart (Savour). We explore why the things left unsaid, ma, are just as important as the words we say (Harmonise). The beautiful hardback edition, which will include gold foiling on the cover and illustrated pages, will make the perfect gift.

Let Marie Kondo help you transform your home - and your life - with this step-by-step tidying planner. It's the next best thing to having Marie work with you personally as you embark on your joy-sparking journey of decluttering, taking charge of your home and surrounding yourself with only the things you need. Uncover your ideal life in manageable stages, setting a timeline that suits you and fits in with your other commitments. With each step broken down into easy tasks, example lists and charts, and space for you to fill in your personal plan, this is the book you need to tidy your home - and keep it the way you love - forever.

Riordinare è molto più che mettere a posto: è un’attività che ha il potere di cambiare la nostra vita. Ci insegna ad apprezzare quello che siamo, ci aiuta ad aprire il cuore e a godere al massimo ogni singolo giorno. Nel suo nuovo libro, Marie Kondo ci invita a praticare il kurashi, lo stile di vita giapponese basato sull’armonia. Creare un angolo tranquillo per scrivere, prendersi del tempo per sé ogni mattina, fare un rituale serale per rilassarsi e favorire un sonno ristoratore: sono passi apparentemente piccoli ma in realtà potenti per ritrovare la chiarezza interiore ed eliminare il disordine dentro e fuori di noi. Spazio dopo spazio, dall’ingresso al salotto, dalla cucina alla camera da letto, impariamo a visualizzare la nostra casa ideale, riacquistando il dialogo con noi stessi a partire dalle piccole cose che ci circondano. Per non rinunciare a una vita di gioia e assaporare ogni momento di serenità.

Transform your home into a haven of calm and achieve your ideal lifestyle with this inspirational visual guide featuring more than 100 photographs, from the Netflix star and #1 bestselling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. “Encouraging readers to take an even more holistic and personal approach to curating their environments, [Marie] Kondo shares a visual guide featuring more than 100 photographs to inspire them to envision, and then create, more fulfilling and joyful lives.”—J.P. Morgan’s nextlist 2023 Inspired by the Japanese concept of kurashi, or “way of life,” Kurashi at Home invites you to visualize your best life from the moment you wake up until the end of each day. By applying Marie Kondo's time-tested query—“Does it spark joy?”—to your mindset and behaviors, you are invited to take an even more holistic and personal approach to curating your environment by imagining what your life could look like full of connection and free from any limitations. This ideal vision then becomes a touchpoint that helps you make conscious, mindful choices—from how you use every corner of your living space to how you take advantage of every moment. At its core, the KonMari philosophy focuses not on what to get rid of, but on what sparks joy in your life. In this inspirational visual guide, beautiful photographs and Kondo's unique suggestions empower you to embrace what you love about your life and then reflect it in your home, activities, and relationships, like creating a calm nook for working, scheduling weekly get-togethers with family or friends, or having relaxing nighttime rituals that promote a restful sleep. Your newfound clarity will inspire you to clear out the unneeded clutter so you can appreciate the inviting spaces, treasured belongings, and peaceful moments that remain.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The book that sparked a revolution and inspired the hit Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo: the original guide to decluttering your home once and for all. ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE—CNN Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles? Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you’ll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo’s clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list). With detailed guidance for determining which items in your house “spark joy” (and which don’t), this international bestseller will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home—and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.

La cura della casa Introspezione e conoscenza «Sono accumulatrice compulsiva di tutto: cose, pensieri, passioni. La Kondo è riuscita dove né io né altri erano mai riusciti. Ho fatto ordine. E riordinare casa mi ha aiutato a fare un po' di ordine anche nel resto. E devo dire che mi ci trovo proprio bene. Grazie Marie! » La Pina Il caos degli oggetti inutili soffoca non solo le nostre case, ma anche le nostre anime. Marie Kondo invita a liberarci di tutto ciò che non ci ispira emozione, perché solo circondandoci di cose che ci danno gioia potremo essere felici. La vita vera comincia dopo aver riordinato. Nel libro che l’ha resa una star, la giapponese Marie Kondo ha messo a punto un metodo che garantisce l’ordine e l’organizzazione degli spazi domestici… e insieme la serenità, perché nella filosofia zen il riordino fisico è un rito che produce incommensurabili vantaggi spirituali: aumenta la fiducia in sé stessi, libera la mente, solleva dall’attaccamento al passato, valorizza le cose preziose, induce a fare meno acquisti inutili. Rimanere nel caos significa invece voler allontanare il momento dell’introspezione e della conoscenza.
