What is Danshari®？
This is the official site of Hideko Yamashita, author of Danshari®.
Do you feel your home is overflowing with stuff and getting in your way?
Do you struggle to let go of things you “might need someday”?
Do you avoid having others see your room?
Danshari® isn’t just a method of tidying up.
While it may sound like a new organizing technique, it’s not.
The true essence of Danshari® lies in freeing yourself from attachment to material possessions.
By releasing your attachments, not only do your surroundings become clearer, but so does your mind—bringing peace and clarity. That’s the purpose of Danshari®.
By letting go of what you don’t need or use, what truly matters and holds value begins to shine through.
Many who practice Danshari® say things like:

Many people believe Danshari® = Throwing things away. But that’s a misconception.
Unless you understand the true meaning of letting go, you won’t experience the full benefit.
Those who subscribe to the newsletter will receive access to a 41-minute video by Hideko Yamashita, where she shares the essence of Danshari®, how it differs from conventional storage techniques, and the mindset behind it.
This understanding can lead to transformations far beyond a tidy room.

Voices from Our Newsletter Readers
We receive countless joyful messages every day from those who have experienced the power of Danshari®. Here are just a few of their voices:

"This is the only newsletter I read almost every time!"
Nowadays, my inbox is overflowing with newsletters, and I can barely keep up with reading them. I tend to unsubscribe from most, but they keep piling up, especially after online purchases. Still, I always find myself reading the Danshari® Newsletter. Each issue offers insights that enrich my daily life and lift my spirit. I’ve always wanted to say thank you!
Reading it also motivates me to take action. For instance, I recently emptied and cleaned my freezer—and to my surprise, it started working better. I saved 200,000 yen on a replacement!
—Angela, 40s, Office Worker
"It really helps me stay mindful"
I look forward to every issue of the newsletter. I subscribe to many, but this one stands out because it comes more than once a week and helps me stay conscious and motivated. Thank you!
Through Danshari®, I realized I had been holding on to piles of fabric and sewing supplies, dreaming of being a "supermom" who handmakes everything. I kept everything, even moldy, musty-smelling cloth—but then I asked myself, “Would I really want to dress my child in this?" That question set me free. I was able to let go. My husband noticed, too, and was happy to see the change.
—Nobana, 30s, Homemaker
"Now I live in a space that feels good"
Thank you for your inspiring newsletter. I used to multitask constantly and leave things like the vacuum cleaner out all day. Now, I’m practicing one task at a time, as planned. It’s created a refreshing, orderly space where I enjoy spending time. I even set boundaries—cleaning first, then reading or working. Thank you for helping me make this shift!
—Makki, 30s, Self-Employed
"Unexpected happiness came into my life!"
Thank you for your cheerful messages. This year began and ended with Danshari® for me. After clearing my home, I experienced deep emotional changes and inner conflict—but what followed was incredible. Unexpected fortune came my way: a family member got engaged, and it brought me immense joy as well.
Thank you, Yamashita-sensei, for teaching us Danshari®. I will keep practicing and aim for an even more joyful year ahead!
—Kazu, Female
"A gentle push when I need it"
Reading your books helped me declutter not just my belongings but also my mindset. Every day feels lighter and more enjoyable. And on days when I waver or start feeling down, your newsletter gently brings me back to center. Thank you for being there.
—S.T., Female
"Toxic relationships faded away"
Here are some changes I’ve noticed thanks to Danshari®:
•I can now get up early on weekends
•I’m attracting more clients who appreciate me for who I am
•I’ve distanced myself from unpleasant relationships
•Clients who had left are returning
•I now receive gifts I actually want
•I’m no longer embarrassed to let people into my room
•Everyday life feels easier
I’m excited to see what comes next. Thank you!
