00:00Now, let's choose a new life.
00:06Leave the useless things in the house.
00:09Leave the unnecessary things.
00:11Get away from the obsession with things.
00:16Choose a new life and way of life with your own decisions.
00:21That is the Danshari.
00:25Hideko Yamashita, the founder of Danshari, is the one who makes the decision.
00:33She is a master of Danshari and life, who has guided countless people.
00:40Danshari is a form of marriage, a form of marriage.
00:43It's a form of Danshari that you can't think of.
00:46If you value things, you should use them.
00:51Choose a new life and way of life with your own decisions.
00:56The door of your life will open now.
01:02I'm not in a position where I can take care of everything by myself.
01:11Her husband, who came from China, was holding her head.
01:17He had too many things in his house that he couldn't touch.
01:26Oh, no.
01:28Address.
01:31I'll say it again. Address.
01:33I'm at my limit. I'm at my limit.
01:38Her husband, who got married internationally, doesn't seem very interested.
01:44You don't really care about tidying up, do you?
01:47No, I don't.
01:49I don't do it because I'm told to.
01:51Why not?
01:54Her wife starts Danshari on her own.
02:06She doesn't give up even when she's alone.
02:10Can she really start a family?
02:24I'm at my limit. I'm at my limit.
02:27I'm at my limit.
02:29She started Danshari at home.
02:31Her husband, who came from China, doesn't give up.
02:34Danshari Kogun Funtoki.
02:41She has been living in Tokyo for more than 20 years.
02:51Ms. Junko is 50 years old.
02:54Please come in.
02:58She married her husband 21 years ago.
03:01She has two junior high school students.
03:06Her house is a 5LDK with three floors.
03:11In the living room on the second floor,
03:13there is a study table and a dining table for her two sons.
03:20What I'm most concerned about right now is this desk.
03:26I don't actually use it.
03:28If I don't go to the library, I can't do my homework.
03:32Even if I sit here,
03:34if I sit like this,
03:36my husband will tell me to go over there.
03:39So I'm really trying to hold it down like this.
03:44Really.
03:48The living room itself is full of things,
03:51and there is a study area in the back,
03:55so it's very cramped.
04:00Before I knew it,
04:02this place was full of things.
04:05I thought that if I had this,
04:08I would be able to clean it up
04:10and have an umbrella over my nose.
04:13So I bought this on the Internet.
04:17But now it's in such a state,
04:19it's in such a state.
04:21Rather, now that I have this,
04:23I feel like there are more things.
04:27This is a family of four,
04:30but only three people can sit here.
04:35I sometimes stand up and eat.
04:40I can't eat in this house with four people sitting together.
04:47Because she left the shelf,
04:49her mother can't sit down and eat.
04:53This is a big problem.
05:01The kitchen is also full of things.
05:04I'm sorry.
05:06The pots are piled up,
05:09so when I use them,
05:11it's hard to put them down one by one.
05:14But there's no space.
05:16There are a lot of pots here,
05:19so when I use them,
05:21I feel like I'm using them one by one.
05:26All the storage is full of cooking utensils and tableware.
05:34The rack is in the way,
05:36so she can't take out the tableware from the back shelf.
05:41What are you doing with the food?
05:45This shelf is in the way.
05:49If I move the shelf,
05:52I can't put the cooking utensils.
05:55So I put them here.
05:58I've been doing this for a long time,
06:01but I can't go inside.
06:03So I'm trying to extend the shelf here.
06:10Next to the living room is the bedroom.
06:14Four people sleep in this room.
06:17My husband, me, my brother-in-law, and my father.
06:22If I don't sleep in the middle,
06:24they'll kick me with their feet.
06:26So I can't sleep here.
06:30It's like a daily battle.
06:37There are two floors full of things,
06:39but there are also four rooms on the third floor.
06:44It would be nice to make a children's room on the third floor.
06:50This is the third floor.
06:54What's going on?
06:58It's not in a state where I can clean up on my own.
07:05It's even more crowded than the second floor.
07:10It's not good.
07:12Why did this happen?
07:16I bought a lot of books from Mercari during the pandemic.
07:22I put the books I bought here.
07:26I can't throw away the boxes, so I put them here.
07:30This is a mess.
07:33I want to clean this up and make it a children's room.
07:38This is going to be another children's room.
07:43She wants to make it a children's room.
07:45The other room is a storage room for daily necessities and food.
07:52She wants to make a children's room, but she can't.
07:59This is my husband's changing room.
08:02That's all I've done.
08:06The other rooms are also full of things.
08:11This is my husband's library room.
08:16I'm in charge of this room.
08:23Every room on the third floor is full of things.
08:27She has to live on the second floor.
08:32I'm home.
08:34Do you want to make fried eggs?
08:37No, thank you.
08:40When she was in her 20s, she studied abroad in China and came to Japan.
08:47She married a 29-year-old man, Tokio, who was older than her.
08:55Mr. Tokio always works at the office on the first floor.
09:04Lunchtime is a precious time for his wife.
09:11Mr. Tokio doesn't care much about tidying up, does he?
09:15No, I just do what I'm told.
09:19Why?
09:22I don't know how to do it.
09:27I don't know how to do it.
09:31Mr. Tokio is busy with work, but he doesn't care much about tidying up.
09:39I think a lot about what I haven't done.
09:43I think a lot about what I haven't done.
09:48I think a lot about what I haven't done.
09:51I get stressed when I look at myself, so I try not to look at myself.
09:56But when I look at myself, I can't wake up.
10:00I can't wake up.
10:02I can't wake up.
10:04I can't wake up.
10:07It seems that Mr. Junko thinks that it is all his fault that the house is full of things and that the children are fighting.
10:19It seems that it is all his fault that the house is full of things and that the children are fighting.
10:26Mr. Yamashita, please help Mr. Junko.
10:36Hello.
10:38Hello.
10:39Nice to meet you.
10:41Thank you for coming in this hot weather.
10:43I'm sorry.
10:45First, let's take a look around the room.
10:49It's tough.
10:51This is tough.
10:53It's tough.
10:55It's tough.
10:57This is the dining room.
10:59Are there four people in your family?
11:02Yes, there are four people, but we've been living here for only three years.
11:06That's why there's a study table here.
11:11And this is the bedroom.
11:17What did Mr. Yamashita feel in the living space on the second floor?
11:22Well, it's smaller than I thought.
11:28The room itself is not small, but it seems that he feels small because there are a lot of things.
11:38But Mr. Yamashita, the third floor is even more difficult.
11:47It's a waste of space.
11:50I'd like to let the children use this room.
11:53Of course.
11:56And there are two children's rooms.
12:03I don't know if I can do it.
12:05I don't know if you can do it.
12:07If you can't do it, you have to leave it as it is.
12:09You have to leave it as it is.
12:11You have to leave it as it is.
12:13You have to leave it as it is.
12:18It's really tough.
12:20It's tough, isn't it?
12:22It's a waste of space.
12:24Why is it so big?
12:31Mr. Yamashita was surprised to see that all the rooms on the third floor were filled with things.
12:41This is tough.
12:43The address.
12:46I'll say it again.
12:47The address.
12:49It's amazing.
12:52The situation is serious, but Junko doesn't know what to do.
13:00But it's the limit.
13:02It's the limit.
13:05I've been thinking about what to do for a few years.
13:09I don't know where to go with this.
13:13It's not about where to go.
13:16I have to take this outside.
13:20I have to take this outside.
13:23I have to dispose of it properly.
13:26Even if I do it in the house, the amount of things doesn't change.
13:30And it's going to increase.
13:33There's no way out.
13:38I'd like to clean it up, but...
13:40It's not cleaning up.
13:42I have to throw it away.
13:45I have to throw it away.
13:47I have to get rid of it.
13:50I think you can still use it.
13:53It's not about taking things.
13:57It's about using things.
14:01It's not about taking things.
14:07If you can't use what you can use,
14:13you have to throw it away.
14:20The reason for this situation is
14:23because of Junko's habit of storing things.
14:27She thinks she can still use them.
14:33Yamashita understands the situation and
14:36comes up with a plan.
14:40Everyone is upset here.
14:44And she thinks it's normal.
14:49So she comes up with a good example.
14:55You don't like that kitchen, do you?
15:01It's hard to use.
15:03It's small.
15:05You don't want to stand here,
15:09so the kids don't want to help.
15:12When it's clean, everyone comes here.
15:17It feels good to be here.
15:20But if you don't want to help,
15:23you have to create an environment.
15:27She comes up with a good example
15:30that will make her family want to help.
15:34That's her plan for the first day.
15:40I'll show you where to start.
15:45Look.
15:48You don't need this much, do you?
15:50I didn't use it.
15:52I didn't use it.
15:54She didn't use it, but she thinks she can still use it.
15:58There are a lot of things left in the kitchen.
16:05Let's get started.
16:11Let's put them in the garbage bag.
16:14We can open it and see if it burns.
16:18What's that?
16:20The same pots and cooking utensils are coming out one after another.
16:25What's more,
16:27what's on this shelf are things she doesn't usually use.
16:40She decided to throw away the pots she doesn't use.
16:46Wow.
16:49That's a lot.
16:53There's a lot.
17:02The more she throws them out,
17:05the more she realizes that there are a lot of the same things.
17:11In the end,
17:13it's a waste to throw them away without using them.
17:20The shelves in the kitchen are empty at a glance.
17:25This is in the way.
17:28Let's put it here.
17:32The rack in the kitchen is in the way of cooking.
17:36The rack in the kitchen is in the way of cooking.
17:43You thought it was a mistake to put this in, didn't you?
17:47At first, I didn't think it was a mistake.
17:50I thought it was a good idea to put it in.
17:53But I thought it was in the way.
17:56It's in the way.
17:58I don't know how to use this.
18:01I'll make it now.
18:04It's in the way.
18:07She decides to put the rice cooker and the toaster in a different place
18:13to make the kitchen easier to use.
18:20But where will she put the rice cooker and the toaster?
18:27I'll put them here.
18:30Either way.
18:33But there's a lid on the top.
18:36I don't think this will fit.
18:38Then, I'll put it there.
18:40Will this fit?
18:42Yes, it will.
18:46What she noticed was the shelf at the entrance of the kitchen.
18:53She decided to put the toaster in here.
18:59I only have this box.
19:01I don't use it.
19:03I don't really use it.
19:07I'll put it here.
19:09There were a lot of daily necessities that she might use someday.
19:18She put the toaster in the empty space.
19:24It fits perfectly.
19:30It fits perfectly.
19:35I'm impressed.
19:38Is it okay?
19:39It fits perfectly.
19:41That's good.
19:43This is good.
19:46Then, Yamashita-san.
19:48She decided to throw away the shelf with the seasonings.
19:54But Junko-san is worried that she won't have enough storage space.
20:01Are you going to throw this away?
20:02Yes, I am.
20:04I don't need it.
20:05Do you know the three kanji for throwing away?
20:08Yes.
20:09Tatsu, suteru, hanareru.
20:11What do they have in common?
20:14Throwing away.
20:15No.
20:16Hikizan.
20:17Hikizan.
20:19Tatsu at the entrance.
20:20Suteru at the exit.
20:21And hanareru.
20:22They are all hikizan.
20:24So, I'm hikizaning the storage space.
20:26This storage space is the chaos of this house.
20:30Because I'm adding more and more things.
20:33And I'm making a mess of the things that I've added too much.
20:40It's hard to clean up.
20:42It's all messed up.
20:46Something terrible is happening.
20:49Are you worried that you won't have enough storage space?
20:52Of course not.
20:54There are so many things.
20:58There are four people in the family.
21:01I think this is enough storage space.
21:06The kitchen drawer is also filled with cooking utensils that she bought but didn't use.
21:18Something terrible is happening.
21:23One drawer can't hold one story.
21:31One drawer can't hold one story.
21:35This is a step-by-step technique to make it easier to use.
21:40Cutting tools such as knives and scissors are lined up in one drawer.
21:47In this way, you can make a drawer for the story of cutting and make it easier to use.
21:56She makes a kitchen where she can be with her family.
22:01It takes three hours to make a drawer for the story of cutting and make it easier to use.
22:08Did I make it?
22:13I can't believe it.
22:16I'm so surprised.
22:20The kitchen is filled with things that were hard to cook.
22:26Oh, it's reborn.
22:33She removes the rack that was in the way of cooking.
22:38Now she can use many shelves easily.
22:45By the way, the rice cooker that was on the rack was put on the counter.
22:53Anyway, I feel like I've made a lot of storage.
22:58You've made a lot of garbage.
23:01It's like a dream.
23:04I'm going to make a drawer for the story of cutting and make it easier to use.
23:07It's like a dream.
23:10Yes, she just started to make a drawer for the story of cutting and make it easier to use.
23:15She has a lot of things to do at home.
23:21Everyone's private room is upstairs.
23:24This is a place where everyone can eat and relax as a living room.
23:31That's the most important thing.
23:34This table is actually one table for this space.
23:42It's a balance.
23:44So I put it on the shelf so that everyone can easily surround it.
23:47First of all, we have to get rid of this.
23:51Here?
23:53This is a three-year plan.
23:58Yearly.
24:00How many years did it take to make it like this?
24:06That's right.
24:08Right?
24:09That's right.
24:11I was prepared to take three years.
24:14But I thought I could do it faster if I could speed up.
24:18I made a promise.
24:20It's all over the house.
24:22That's right.
24:24It's hard to clean up.
24:26I have to take everything out of the house.
24:28It's hard to clean up.
24:33She has been collecting things for many years.
24:36She wants to make a room for the children.
24:42Her goal is to make a place where they can relax in the living room.
24:49I'll do my best.
24:51I'm looking forward to it.
24:54I'm looking forward to working with you.
24:57But she is worried.
25:00Can she do it alone?
25:02Her husband doesn't seem to be interested.
25:06She has to rely on Zen.
25:25A week later
25:30It's been a week since she started cutting.
25:36Ms. Junko decided to cut around the living room table today.
25:43There are a lot of things here, too.
25:48She said she would increase the number of shelves.
25:55I feel like there are more things depending on this.
26:00What's in the living room?
26:07Most of the things in the living room are for children.
26:12I don't use a box of pamphlets anymore.
26:15I don't use this kind of thing.
26:19I don't use it anymore.
26:22I don't use this.
26:24I don't use this either.
26:28I heard that until this spring, she was busy with the children's exams every day.
26:36She was more busy than she imagined.
26:45I'll take them all out.
26:47Should I do this?
26:49It may be easy.
26:52Oh?
26:54She's starting to break the shelves.
26:59Are you going to break the shelves, too?
27:03Yes.
27:05If I break them, this place will be empty.
27:09Ms. Yamashita told me that the storage is making this house weird.
27:15Ms. Junko is taking it seriously.
27:22What's in here?
27:24What's in here?
27:26I didn't think about this.
27:28At first, I thought it would be clean because all of these things would be in here.
27:32But I didn't think about this.
27:34I don't like this.
27:41When you open the blinds, you can see what you don't need.
27:49I'll throw them away.
27:52I don't need this either.
27:57I don't need this either.
28:02It's getting better.
28:06It's getting better.
28:15There were a lot of things around the table in front of the car.
28:20The shelves are gone.
28:23It's clean now.
28:29But it's not clean at all.
28:32I'm glad that I didn't have a vacuum cleaner.
28:36I'm really glad.
28:40While Ms. Junko is working hard, her husband, Mr. Tokio...
28:45Mr. Tokio seems to be as busy as ever at the office on the first floor.
28:53Thank you for your hard work.
28:55Now, let's get ready to make a children's room.
29:01Prepare a room for each of you.
29:04Prepare a room for each of you.
29:09To do this, you have to clean up the room on the third floor...
29:13...and bring your desks and study tools.
29:22Ms. Junko is alone again today.
29:25She's starting to clean up the third floor.
29:28I'm going to clean up the third floor.
29:33This room is not going to be a children's room.
29:36I used to study for a qualification exam here.
29:45After marrying Mr. Tokio, Ms. Junko, who is a hard worker...
29:50...kept studying at this desk to get a qualification exam.
29:55I couldn't come to this room since I had a baby.
30:00I couldn't afford to come here.
30:03I was living in the basement.
30:06I've been living here for 12 years.
30:11I think the number of cases of COVID-19 has increased the most.
30:16I bought a lot of things on Amazon and put them in this room.
30:20I don't like the feeling of fear.
30:23I don't want to be in contact with people.
30:29In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic five years ago...
30:35...had cast a dark shadow over Ms. Junko's heart.
30:43Ms. Junko is an only child.
30:45Her Chinese parents were worried about her marriage in Japan.
30:55However, Ms. Junko was attracted to Mr. Tokio...
31:00...who is a reliable man.
31:06She built a happy family and reassured her Chinese parents.
31:12However...
31:17...her Chinese parents died during the COVID-19 pandemic.
31:22She couldn't go back to China.
31:25Ms. Junko couldn't even go to a funeral.
31:32I didn't want to clean up the mess.
31:35I just wanted to live my life to the fullest.
31:40That's what I wanted to do for the past few years.
31:44It was a blink of an eye for me...
31:48...to see what was going on in my family.
31:54The shock of losing her father...
31:57...and the fear of the new COVID-19 pandemic...
32:00...led to a series of children's exams.
32:06Ms. Junko stayed at home...
32:09...buying things online...
32:12...and living in a room on the third floor.
32:17I think I've lost my sense of security.
32:21I feel calmer now.
32:24I feel like I can live a normal life now.
32:31Suddenly, the house was filled with things...
32:35...and it was a mess.
32:38Ms. Junko had to get up...
32:41...to clean up the mess.
32:45In this room...
32:48...are books and magazines she bought during the pandemic...
32:52...as well as textbooks and textbooks her children used.
32:57I'm going to throw this away.
33:00I'm going to throw this away.
33:05I'm going to throw this away, too.
33:08Ms. Junko was upset that she didn't know what to do...
33:12...until a few days ago.
33:15But now, she's like a different person.
33:22I'm going to put this in there.
33:31She had to work non-stop...
33:34...all day long.
33:39She was obviously tired...
33:42...but Ms. Junko didn't take a break.
33:50Maybe she should ask Mr. Tokio for help.
33:54Maybe she should ask Mr. Tokio for help.
33:58Mr. Tokio doesn't object to cleaning up the mess...
34:03...but I don't think he would want to do it.
34:13He thinks it's hard to get help.
34:20It's been 12 years since she was born.
34:24The room she used to live in...
34:27...has regained its former glory.
34:34But...
34:39There are still many rooms that she has to work non-stop.
34:45Ms. Junko's fatigue had reached its peak.
34:483 weeks later
34:53The accident happened...
34:56...almost 3 weeks after the accident.
35:04Mr. Tokio, her husband, is in the bedroom next to the living room.
35:10You don't need this, do you?
35:12No, I don't need it.
35:14Can I ask Mr. Tokio for help?
35:16No, I don't need it.
35:19I don't need it.
35:24Suddenly...
35:26...Mr. Tokio said he would help.
35:34This house used to belong to Mr. Tokio.
35:38Some of his belongings were left behind.
35:42This is Mr. Tokio's house.
35:46This is...
35:48It's been a long time.
35:51I lost it in 2009.
35:54It's been a long time.
35:56I can't buy it.
35:59He lost it before he married Ms. Junko.
36:04He was homeless for 27 years.
36:09This is something you can only do as a husband.
36:15I'm glad you're doing this.
36:23But why did Mr. Tokio suddenly decide to help?
36:31I thought it was amazing.
36:33I was half-hearted, but I was motivated.
36:39I didn't think it would be so clean.
36:44I didn't think it would be so clean.
36:47I can't throw this away.
36:53I've been throwing things away, but I've learned to be happy.
37:04I'm going to throw this away.
37:10In the last three weeks, he saw his wife working hard and his house getting cleaner.
37:18He started to move because he couldn't stay like this.
37:26In the cabinet, there are memories of when he was a child.
37:30This is a couple's item.
37:33This is a couple's item.
37:38I don't need this.
37:40You don't need it, do you?
37:42I don't need this.
37:44It's a growth record.
37:49Oh, it's a growth record.
37:53It's a growth record.
37:56I'm in charge of this, so it's hard for Mr. Tokio.
38:02Then Junko seems to be in a good mood.
38:10I put the things I need here, and I put the things I don't need here.
38:15That's what I do.
38:19That's not the only thing he does.
38:28He says he's going to empty the cabinet and throw out the first-generation garbage.
38:38I thought I'd wear it someday.
38:41I don't need this.
38:43What's in here is mainly clothes from when he was working.
38:50It's a full-fledged cabinet.
38:56Can you cut it?
38:58I can cut onions.
39:00You can cut onions.
39:02I've been cutting onions for a long time.
39:05About 10 years.
39:07No, I haven't cut onions for a long time.
39:13Junko seems to be having fun even if Mr. Tokio says he doesn't like it.
39:21I don't need this.
39:23You don't need the red one, do you?
39:25This? Wait, I'll cut it.
39:30Leave it alone. I've never seen it.
39:39What do you mean?
39:40What do you mean?
39:42You don't need this, do you?
39:44That's all I want to say.
39:48That's why he wanted to play with his side.
39:56The cabinet around the bedroom with Mr. Tokio.
40:04It's refreshing.
40:07The empty cabinet will be disposed of later.
40:13Now, it's time for the last part.
40:21One month after the start of cutting.
40:26It's finally time to finish.
40:30Thank you for your hard work.
40:32Thank you for your hard work.
40:35Mr. Tokio will take care of the furniture that he doesn't need anymore.
40:41Now, the bedroom will be cleaned up at once.
40:47The cabinet will be disposed of.
40:50He decided to put a clothes rack in the empty space.
40:55It's perfect.
40:57It's getting bigger.
40:59It used to be like this, but now it's completely different.
41:06Compared to before the cutting,
41:12it's obvious what's left after it's gotten bigger.
41:17It's getting bigger.
41:22He will also take away the bed and shelves that he doesn't need anymore.
41:39The broken furniture has become two trucks.
41:47It's clean.
41:49It's really...
41:52It's like a completely different room.
41:57It doesn't feel like my own house.
42:02It's so clean.
42:07All the unnecessary things that he had stored for many years have been thrown away.
42:12The first children's room has been completed.
42:18And there's another room.
42:22This is the best room for changing the room.
42:26That's right.
42:28This is the best room for both.
42:32The stock of daily necessities that he had stored has also been thrown away.
42:37The second children's room has also been completed.
42:43But still, it took only a month to clean up this much of a room.
42:49Mr. Junko, you really did your best.
42:55If I leave it as it is, it will be a mess.
43:00I'm not afraid of it now, but I'm glad that I have to do it someday.
43:10Tokio, who is an unskilled Showa boy, has few words.
43:17But he is very happy that Mr. Junko has taken the initiative to clean up.
43:21Tokio, who is an unskilled Showa boy, has few words.
43:27But he is very happy that Mr. Junko has taken the initiative to clean up.
43:39When I get out of the living room, I help with the final finishing work according to Mr. Junko's instructions.
43:46The table is in the middle of the room, as Mr. Yamashita told me.
43:56Now the four family members can sit down.
44:02In the future, my husband will sit there, and I will sit here.
44:06I'm going to take the children to the dormitory, so I'm going to make a new table.
44:09If I sit here, I can go to the dormitory.
44:18What makes me happy is not only that I was able to solve my problems.
44:26I'm more than happy that Mr. Junko has taken the initiative to clean up.
44:32It seems that the time of a happy couple will continue to increase.
44:43Mr. Junko takes a lot of pictures of the house that has become clean and sends them somewhere.
44:52He called me.
45:02She is a mother who lives in China.
45:10I'm calling from my mother.
45:13I was worried about you.
45:16How are you?
45:22I see.
45:24She has been worried about her daughter.
45:31She said that the house has become very clean.
45:35I want to help you, but I can't help you.
45:39I was worried about you, but thank you for making it so beautiful.
45:45It seems that her husband has become a good parent and child.
45:51He told me to keep it as it is.
45:56I will do my best to keep it as it is.
46:01I will do my best to keep it as it is.
