Marie Kondo's first book is "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing". It was published in 2011 and has become a best-seller. Kondo shares her unique KonMari method for decluttering and organizing in the book. The technique uses the idea that you should only keep items in your home that bring you joy and let go of things that do not. The book has inspired a decluttering movement and is the perfect way to start our Japan Series.
