断捨離
含义: Decluttering; the practice of letting go of unnecessary possessions, associated with Marie Kondo-style tidying.
断捨離 is a lifestyle philosophy that goes beyond simple tidying. Each character represents a principle: refusing unnecessary items, discarding clutter, and detaching from material desire. While the concept was coined before Marie Kondo, her global KonMari method brought similar ideas to worldwide attention. In everyday conversation, Japanese people use 断捨離 casually to mean any major purge of belongings, from closet cleanouts to digital decluttering.
