00:00Now, let's choose a new life.
00:05Leave the useless things in the house,
00:09throw away the unnecessary things,
00:11and leave the attachment to things.
00:15Choose a new life and way of life with your own decisions.
00:20That is Danshari.
00:25Hideko Yamashita is the founder of Danshari.
00:32She is a master of Danshari and life,
00:36who has guided countless people.
00:40Danshari is about the shape of the couple and the shape of marriage.
00:46Taking care of things means using things.
00:51Choose a new life and way of life with your own decisions.
00:56The door of your life will open now.
01:06She has been living alone since she was 64 years old.
01:13I want to live a carefree life with nothing.
01:20I want to change my mind and renovate my house for my wife.
01:28I want to get rid of all the things from the past and move on to a new life.
01:36But I can't get rid of things as I want.
01:41You need to learn how to give space to things.
01:47If you give space to things, they will decrease.
01:51Yamashita-san is a master of Danshari.
01:57But...
01:59My butt is on fire.
02:03She is in a big pinch.
02:07Her friendship with the screen saved her.
02:17Hideko Yamashita won the first prize in Danshari.
02:21She is now 64 years old.
02:24Let's make a new stage for her life.
02:34A quiet residential area in Hachioji City, Tokyo.
02:40She was in the middle of Danshari.
02:53Hitomi-san is 64 years old.
02:57She is a nursery teacher.
03:01She has been a nursery teacher for over 40 years.
03:07Hitomi-san has been on the show twice.
03:13This is the biggest challenge for her.
03:20I still have a lot of things.
03:25I need to renovate my house.
03:33She wants to renovate her living room and kitchen.
03:40She wants to get rid of everything she doesn't need.
03:49Why is she renovating now?
03:53To find out, we need to look back at Hitomi's life in Danshari.
04:03Hello.
04:07I'm Yamashita. Nice to meet you.
04:10She visited Hitomi-san for the first time four years ago.
04:16At that time, she lived with her 8-year-old husband, Kazuo-san.
04:24The window of the house is a tunnel.
04:29It's full of pressure, isn't it?
04:33The living room is full of furniture and things.
04:36It's very cramped.
04:41It's very cramped.
04:43I want to make it less cramped.
04:48There was a lot of stuff in the drawer.
04:56The drawing room on the 8th floor is also full of things.
05:04What did Yamashita-san point out here?
05:09I'm hiding it.
05:12If I hide it, people will notice.
05:15If I hide it, people will cry.
05:21Hitomi-san was hiding things she didn't need in the drawer with a blanket.
05:29Can I take a peek?
05:31That's not all.
05:33In the closet...
05:36Why is the ponzu here?
05:38There's no place to put it.
05:42Why is the ponzu in the closet?
05:48Let's go to the second floor.
05:52When I was in Canada, I didn't have anything like this.
05:57So you made your mother's room a storage room.
06:00Because it's full of things.
06:03This is her mother's room, which was just gone four months ago.
06:10Hitomi-san was also hiding things she didn't need there.
06:18If you do this, your mother will be sad.
06:25She hid everything from things she didn't need to the ponzu.
06:31Hitomi-san had a habit of hiding things.
06:39You make a hole here and put the ponzu in.
06:45For Hitomi-san, Yamashita-san used a bicycle as a practice table.
06:55Here, too, she hid things like a mountain.
07:04How many things did Hitomi-san hide in this small space?
07:12Her goal was to make her feel it.
07:18Look at this.
07:20There were so many things in this space.
07:24It's amazing.
07:27I don't think I need all of this.
07:32This is a field.
07:34I've had this since I was a kid.
07:36I don't need it.
07:39Yamashita-san's goal was to make her feel it.
07:44Hitomi-san realized her habit of hiding things and started to dispose of them one by one.
07:55And the pond was full of things she didn't need.
08:01If she only used things, she transformed into a clean space.
08:09The Japanese-style room was full of things.
08:15If she disposed of all the things she didn't need, it became spacious.
08:24This way, Hitomi-san was able to overcome her habit of hiding things for many years.
08:36The second bicycle was a kitchen.
08:41I didn't touch it at all.
08:44There are some condiments in it.
08:49There were a lot of food and condiments in the storage.
09:00And most of them were expired.
09:09Hitomi-san had a habit of hoarding things.
09:13The bicycle she was looking at
09:18and the storage where there were a lot of things
09:23became clean and almost empty.
09:34In the meantime, Hitomi-san told the staff something they didn't expect.
09:41What came out of the box was a new lunch box.
09:51The lunch box that my husband brought was already broken.
09:56I wanted to buy a new one for him, but I didn't tell him about it.
10:01I didn't know about it because I fell down while I was buying it.
10:07My husband, Kazuo-san, passed away.
10:14It was three years ago that Kazuo-san passed away from a stroke.
10:19He was able to recover his life, but he never regained his consciousness.
10:26He couldn't go to the hospital for surgery.
10:30So he never regained his consciousness.
10:34He couldn't even get out of bed.
10:37When my husband, who was fine, fell asleep,
10:41his face turned into a sick person's face.
10:46I couldn't stand it.
10:49Two years and four months after he fell down,
10:53Kazuo-san was able to breathe quietly.
10:59At the end, I thought,
11:01I don't have to do my best anymore.
11:04Gradually, I lost my breath,
11:07and my pulse and blood pressure decreased.
11:12I was alone.
11:15But I'm glad I was able to see him.
11:23Ms. Hitomi lost her husband following her mother, who was living with her.
11:34Naturally, she lost her husband.
11:40Naturally, she became conscious of the rest of her life.
11:48She wanted to start a new life while she was healthy.
11:56This is it.
12:01The first step was called reform.
12:07As I get older, I don't need a lot of things.
12:12I want to spend my old age in a clean and comfortable state.
12:20In the living room now,
12:23there are too many shelves and storages for living alone.
12:28It's a little cramped.
12:31The kitchen is also a little cramped.
12:34So I decided to start a reform,
12:37and I decided to dispose of furniture and tableware at once.
12:47Ms. Hitomi, who was working hard,
12:51seemed to be waiting for the reform.
13:02But one day, a month after the reform,
13:09a SOS came from Ms. Hitomi.
13:16Hello.
13:17Hello.
13:19Nice to meet you.
13:21What happened?
13:24I asked her to show me around the house.
13:29This room is still in good condition.
13:35The Japanese-style room that was demolished four years ago
13:40is still in good condition.
13:48It's not just that it's in good condition.
13:52There was a futon, but I disposed of it.
13:55The closet, which used to be full of ponds,
14:02has been emptied in the past four years.
14:09It's still in good condition.
14:12I'm going to make it smaller from now on.
14:16Where did the habit of hiding things go?
14:20Ms. Hitomi, you've got a lot of things to do.
14:28But what's troubling you?
14:32When I asked her that,
14:34she showed me the living room that was going to be reformed.
14:41I made it smaller.
14:45I don't know what to do.
14:50The living room's dining table, which used to be full of things,
14:56is amazing.
15:03Ms. Hitomi, you've made it smaller.
15:06Are you still dissatisfied?
15:10I don't use it alone.
15:13Even if someone comes, it's just one or two people.
15:17In addition...
15:19There's a lot of stuff here,
15:21so I'm going to reduce it by half.
15:24It's still in good condition.
15:27She reduced the storage shelf by half,
15:32but she wants to dispose of it more.
15:37She says it's hard to reduce the amount she wants to use.
15:45I'm going to leave some for myself.
15:51I don't know how much I can reduce.
15:54I can't do it all at once.
16:00She's determined to recycle,
16:03but there's no end to it.
16:10Ms. Hitomi is at her limit when it comes to recycling.
16:20Ms. Yamashita came to help her.
16:33Ms. Yamashita, who came to help Ms. Hitomi for the first time in four years
16:48Hello.
16:51It's been a while.
16:54Ms. Yamashita came to visit Ms. Hitomi for the first time in four years.
16:58She wants to see the Japanese-style room where she used to recycle.
17:04It's still in good condition.
17:07It was amazing here, too.
17:10There's a ponzu in the closet.
17:13There's no ponzu in there.
17:15No, there isn't.
17:16I'm in the middle of recycling.
17:20Knowing that Ms. Hitomi continues to recycle,
17:24Ms. Yamashita seems satisfied, too.
17:29Now, Ms. Hitomi will cut out the main subject.
17:39It's modern.
17:43She wants to recycle more before she reforms,
17:47but she has to proceed as she wishes.
17:54Then, Ms. Yamashita saw a shelf full of things.
18:01I wanted to keep this, so I kept it.
18:05The hurdle was too high.
18:08Now, I'm going to look at the space.
18:13I need to learn how to give space to things.
18:19How to give space to things.
18:24What does that mean?
18:30When I look at the space,
18:32the first thing I notice is that there are too many shelves.
18:35The space between the shelves is too tight.
18:41I can't keep the dishes in order.
18:45Now that you mention it,
18:47it looks a bit cramped.
18:52The reason is that the shelves are too small
18:57and don't give enough space to things.
19:04On the other hand,
19:05when you reduce the number of shelves and create space,
19:09you can't help reducing the number of things.
19:15In other words, if you are conscious of the space,
19:19you can reduce the number of things.
19:22That's what Ms. Yamashita says.
19:28There is another piece of advice.
19:33I have three of these.
19:35When I think about which one I should choose,
19:37I worry again.
19:41What to dispose of and what to keep.
19:44It's all about how you feel when you make a choice.
19:50If I have to choose one,
19:52I'd like to see her on stage.
19:56But I'd also like to have a co-star.
19:59I'd like to have two people on stage.
20:02So I think about which one I should choose.
20:06Isn't that fun?
20:08Right?
20:09Because I'm the director.
20:11I have to think about how to dispose of things.
20:14So I think about which one I should keep
20:16and which one I can't.
20:20This time, I'm creating my own stage,
20:22so I'm very creative.
20:26She's going to create a stage for her new life.
20:33Ms. Yamashita told her that
20:36it's important for the audience to have fun.
20:45Now, let's get started!
20:53First, the living room table.
20:59What are the criteria for auditioning?
21:04So many people applied for the audition.
21:08If you look at the whole thing,
21:11it's a living room table.
21:13But there's more.
21:14Yes, yes, yes.
21:15It's a completely different kind of exhaustion.
21:19The first thing that didn't pass
21:22was the basket with medicine in it.
21:27It doesn't look good on a living room table.
21:34Which one is different?
21:37This one.
21:38Yes, yes, yes.
21:39It's a cooking tool.
21:43The hot plate didn't pass either.
21:49The first thing to consider
21:52is whether or not it's suitable for the stage.
21:55If it's not suitable, it's out.
22:03Next, she chooses a cooking tool.
22:09I got this from someone.
22:12But...
22:13It doesn't look like you need it.
22:15It's not my hobby,
22:18but my husband gave it to me,
22:20so I thought I'd put it in.
22:22You don't need it on a high-class stage.
22:24The cooking tools she got came out,
22:27but she disposes of them.
22:31You're grateful for what he gave you.
22:33You don't need to hold a grudge.
22:40The second thing to consider
22:43is whether or not it's suitable for her hobby.
22:48I don't need five of these.
22:54I don't need four, so I'll take three.
23:01From now on, she lives on her own.
23:05She doesn't need many of the same cooking tools.
23:12Considering whether or not it's suitable for her lifestyle,
23:15she selects a number of things.
23:21She chooses what she disposes of and what she leaves behind.
23:31Next, she reduces the number of cutting boards
23:34so that there's more space in the kitchen.
23:42I've decided on the stage.
23:44As you like.
23:48First, Hitomi arranges the ingredients
23:52to her liking.
23:54Then...
23:59Wait a minute.
24:01Should I put this on top?
24:07It's hard to decide, isn't it, Hitomi?
24:13She rearranges the ingredients.
24:19I've never done this before.
24:21I'm free to do whatever I want.
24:23It's really hard.
24:25I used to complain to that person,
24:28but now I'm opposed to this person.
24:32Until now, Hitomi has been concerned
24:35about her mother, husband, and Kazuo's preferences.
24:41But what's important in her life from now on
24:44is whether or not she feels comfortable.
24:49Like this?
24:55I see.
24:58She's been able to arrange the ingredients
25:00to her liking and create more space in the kitchen.
25:06By the way, how about you, Yamashita-san?
25:10Do you see that there's no rhythm?
25:12Yes.
25:14That's right.
25:16If there's no strength or weakness,
25:18it doesn't matter.
25:19Do you understand?
25:20Yes.
25:21I just arranged the ingredients.
25:24She says this is not good.
25:28What does rhythm mean?
25:34Yamashita-san will show us an example.
25:38This is a waltz.
25:41Then, pause.
25:43It can be like this.
25:45It's different, isn't it?
25:48I see.
25:51I can feel the rhythm.
25:55If it's okay to put the same ingredients on top of each other,
25:58there will be strength and weakness.
26:03Somehow,
26:04the tableware is getting lively.
26:09It's completely different.
26:11Isn't it fun?
26:12Yes, it is.
26:14I can't get tired of doing this alone.
26:16That's right.
26:17Then, I'll put this here.
26:20Yamashita-san said it's important to enjoy yourself.
26:26That's what she meant.
26:32In this way,
26:33the tableware shelf, which was full of things other than tableware,
26:39is beautifully clean.
26:42By giving a lot of space to the tableware,
26:45a beautiful and fun stage has been completed.
26:52It's like a shop.
26:54Yes, it is.
26:55It's like,
26:56I'm so beautiful.
26:58Please buy me and take me home.
27:00That's right.
27:02It's so beautiful.
27:05Using this tableware shelf as a reference,
27:08she wanted to create a new stage
27:11to enjoy life.
27:16Leaving that, Yamashita-san went home.
27:25While there is no time until the reform,
27:28what kind of rites will Hitomi-san perform as a director?
27:34I'm looking forward to it.
27:43The second day of the reform.
27:48Hitomi-san, where will you perform the reform today?
27:53I'm going to take all of these out
27:56and do what's inside.
27:58This is the storage shelf.
28:01It's mainly a storage shelf with miscellaneous goods.
28:06I do it once a year,
28:09but I haven't done it yet.
28:14This shelf was also demolished once,
28:18but Hitomi-san wants to reduce it even more.
28:22Everything is for the stage
28:25that will send a new life.
28:31Just by taking out half of the goods,
28:33there is a lot on the table.
28:37I don't need that.
28:41I don't need it.
28:45She is conscious of giving space to the space
28:48and keeps on disposing of it.
28:52The second day of the reform.
28:55In the meantime,
28:57something that had completely forgotten its existence has come out.
29:03Ah, it's that thing.
29:05It's a hook.
29:08It's a hook to hang on the wall.
29:13Moreover, it's packed tightly in three boxes.
29:18Why are there so many of them?
29:22I thought it was good when I saw it on the Internet,
29:25so I bought it.
29:27I have a habit of buying one or two of them.
29:31I haven't cut them yet.
29:34She bought them in bulk at a mail order,
29:38but when she received them,
29:40she realized that she didn't need so many of them.
29:44That's not all.
29:51This one.
29:53Yes, yes, yes, I bought it.
29:55What should I do with this?
29:59This is also a beauty machine she bought at a mail order.
30:04I bought this at a mail order, too.
30:06It's good for thighs.
30:08It's good for thighs.
30:13After that,
30:14there were more and more health equipment she bought at a mail order.
30:21I stayed at home all the time because of COVID-19.
30:24I only went back and forth between the nursery and the house.
30:28I think I was stressed out.
30:32She was looking forward to going out for no reason,
30:38so she bought a few things at a mail order.
30:45She decided to sell the things she didn't need at the recycle shop.
30:53In this way,
30:54she reduced the number of items on the table to two-thirds.
31:02I only have half left.
31:06Even so,
31:08it's only been a year since her husband, Kazuo, passed away.
31:14I don't think I need this.
31:16I don't need it anymore.
31:20Why is Hitomi
31:22trying to switch to a new life
31:25in such a hurry?
31:31When I asked her that,
31:34she gave me this answer.
31:39I'm still like that,
31:41but I feel like I'm going to come back.
31:44I don't say anything.
31:46I sometimes dream like that, too.
31:49I think I'm going to come back.
31:52I don't come back,
31:54but I always feel that way.
32:01To Hitomi,
32:03it seems like Kazuo is still alive.
32:10But that's not all.
32:13She says that she feels like
32:15Kazuo's presence is everywhere in the house.
32:25It was hard for me,
32:27but I don't know how to explain it.
32:33That's why I want to change.
32:37If I change,
32:39I don't feel like I'm going to come back.
32:41If I stay like this,
32:43I'll always be here.
32:48If she changes,
32:50her husband's legacy will disappear.
32:53If she doesn't change,
32:55she won't be able to move forward.
33:00With determination,
33:02Hitomi decided to switch to a new life.
33:10Ten days left until the renovation starts.
33:17How is the progress of the demolition?
33:21The ones with a good expiration date are all gone.
33:24The ones with a bad expiration date are all thrown away.
33:28Everything is going well.
33:34The kitchen table is also finished.
33:40It looks like it's over now.
33:47That's what I thought.
33:52I'm going to demolish this part, too.
33:57I haven't touched it yet.
34:00It's like this.
34:03What?
34:04She's going to demolish the Japanese-style bookshelf and bookcase?
34:11When I opened the door,
34:13there were a lot of clothes and things.
34:19She doesn't renovate this room,
34:22but does she need to demolish it?
34:26The living room table, TV, and refrigerator come here, too.
34:32Everyone evacuates here.
34:37During the renovation,
34:39the refrigerator and other necessary items are evacuated to the Japanese-style room.
34:48In order to make that space,
34:51she demolishes the bookshelf and bookcase.
34:54She decided to demolish the interior, too.
34:59If I don't do it soon, it will come on the 26th.
35:02My butt is already on fire.
35:07The construction of the renovation is just around the corner.
35:11Will she make it in time?
35:19One day, the construction of the renovation is just around the corner.
35:26Oh, Ms. Hitomi, who is that woman?
35:30She's my friend, Ms. Misako.
35:32I'm Misako. Nice to meet you.
35:36She's Misako's friend.
35:39She's not just any friend.
35:44She's my best friend.
35:46We went to the same high school.
35:48We were in the same class for a year or two.
35:51Where are you from?
35:53Hiroshima.
35:55Hiroshima?
35:56Yes.
35:58They've been best friends since high school.
36:02They went to the same nursery school.
36:06They've known each other for over 40 years.
36:11It's been a long time since I've seen her,
36:15so I'm getting emotional.
36:19When I heard that she was going to Hiroshima to get married,
36:22I was so surprised.
36:24After that, I cried in the car on my way home.
36:28I can't stop crying.
36:31She said she cried when she heard that.
36:35She really is an irreplaceable best friend.
36:43Why did Ms. Misako come all the way from Hiroshima?
36:50These three.
36:52These three?
36:53But I don't think I can go all the way today.
36:57Wow, there's a lot.
37:00She's helping out with the cart.
37:06When Ms. Hitomi asked for help,
37:10Ms. Misako, who was on her way to Tokyo,
37:14helped her out.
37:19She's such a good friend.
37:22If you're going to put them on top of each other, put them here.
37:27Ms. Hitomi is the first to help.
37:32If you're going to take these, you don't need these.
37:35That's right.
37:36If you're going to take these, you don't need these.
37:39Just throw them away.
37:42Ms. Misako has no mercy.
37:46Ms. Hitomi is being pushed by the momentum to decide what to do.
37:54Wow, there's a lot.
37:56Ms. Misako continues to put pressure on her.
38:03I don't need this short one.
38:07This color?
38:08No, I don't need this color.
38:10What about this one?
38:11This one too?
38:13Wait a minute.
38:16Ms. Hitomi is struggling too.
38:20But this is what Ms. Hitomi herself wanted.
38:27I want to say this without mercy.
38:30I'm fine with saying this.
38:34I say what I want to say.
38:37But we don't say it out loud.
38:40It's coming out again.
38:44Ms. Hitomi continues to put pressure on her.
38:49She called her best friend to help her.
38:57I'm going to take this one.
39:00In the midst of all this,
39:02Ms. Hitomi can't help but stop.
39:06It's somewhere here.
39:07How many years have you been doing this?
39:09Three years.
39:11I'm in my fifth year.
39:14Is this your graduation album from high school?
39:19But where is it?
39:21Oh, here it is.
39:22Young!
39:26It's been 45 years since then.
39:29She's not young anymore,
39:31and she's experienced a lot of hardship.
39:35But...
39:37I'm free now.
39:40I'm in Hiroshima.
39:41I haven't been there for a long time.
39:45I haven't been there since my mother got sick.
39:49I'm free now, so if I can go on a trip,
39:52I'll go to Misaka.
39:55It's a place where your body moves.
39:57That's right.
39:58This is our house.
39:59That's right.
40:03In the future,
40:06there are still many fun things to do.
40:13It takes three hours for two people to clean up.
40:18The clothes didn't decrease as much as I expected.
40:21But...
40:25The shelves were full of books.
40:31There were only a few albums left,
40:34and they were almost empty.
40:39In this way,
40:41Hitomi was able to finish the work until the end.
40:52And the construction of the reform began.
41:03The walls and floors were demolished and replaced with new ones.
41:11The remnants of her husband and mother's life were completely gone.
41:17And a month later,
41:19the reform was finally completed.
41:25Hello.
41:27Hello.
41:28Let's take a look.
41:33How is it?
41:37It looks like this.
41:41It looks like this.
41:51While living for 30 years,
41:53the living room was filled with furniture and things.
42:00It transformed into a modern and refreshing space.
42:11The kitchen, which had a lot of shelves,
42:18was filled with wall storage.
42:21It was a chic and calm atmosphere.
42:27It was a stage of a new life
42:30that she finally got after a long process.
42:36When I saw it,
42:38I thought it was good.
42:40I thought it was like a model room.
42:43I thought it was worth sticking to it.
42:48Hitomi seems satisfied.
42:53The kitchen equipment is also the latest.
43:02This is a faucet.
43:05It's touchless and comfortable.
43:11This is garbage.
43:14It moves,
43:16so if you do this,
43:18you can throw it away while cooking.
43:23The modern kitchen has evolved so much.
43:29However,
43:31the stage of a new life
43:33will start from here.
43:37There is still work to return things,
43:40such as tableware.
43:44It looks like this.
43:46What should I do with this?
43:54What should I do with this?
43:57What should I do with this?
44:00It's also a part of life
44:02to get lost
44:04and stumble.
44:09Hitomi, please enjoy
44:11making the stage
44:13until your heart is satisfied.
44:20Hitomi,
44:22it's like a revolution.
44:24I want to applaud
44:26the person who was impressed
44:28by the ponzu sauce
44:30in the closet.
44:32I want to applaud
44:34the person who is trying
44:36to evolve further.
44:40The first stage
44:42is to become an adult.
44:44The second stage
44:46is to get married
44:48and start a family.
44:50I jumped over
44:52the first stage.
44:54It's totally different.
44:56I'm trying to jump
44:58into a new life
45:00that is truly my own.
45:02It's sad that my family
45:04has left me,
45:06but I think
45:08I've built a new self.
45:11We are worried
45:13that we will be
45:15alone and lonely
45:17in the old age.
45:20But there are
45:22so many possibilities
45:24to be alone.
45:26We can decide everything
45:28and act on our own.
45:30We don't have
45:32such a physical life.
45:34I want you to
45:36change your image
45:38of being alone.
45:40I think that's the example
45:42of Hitomi.
45:44I think that
45:47creating a living environment
45:49is one of the ways
45:51to create your own life.
45:53So, I think
45:55you can start
45:57creating a new life.
