00:00Now, let's choose a new life.
00:06Leave the useless things in the house,
00:09throw away the unnecessary things,
00:12and leave the attachment to things.
00:16Choose a new life and way of life with your own decisions.
00:21That is Danshari.
00:26Hideko Yamashita is the founder of Danshari.
00:33He is a master of Danshari and life,
00:36who has guided countless people.
00:40I don't think I can be a useless person who can't clean up.
00:46There is no such thing as perfection.
00:48Is it painful to seek perfection?
00:51Choose a new life and way of life with your own decisions.
00:56Now, the door of life opens.
01:01We went skiing together.
01:04My younger brother drove the car,
01:09and we were the same age.
01:12So we went skiing together.
01:19Suddenly, she lost her beloved brother.
01:23She still can't organize her feelings.
01:28Even after he died, the room remained the same.
01:33She couldn't throw it away.
01:37I really couldn't do anything.
01:43It remained the same.
01:46She can't stay like this forever.
01:49She has to do something.
01:51She decides to organize Danshari.
01:54You can't organize your feelings by yourself.
01:58You are too strong.
02:00You can't do it by yourself.
02:03She wants to make her house and feelings clean.
02:07There are a lot of things that stand out.
02:11Is this a dishcloth?
02:13Yes, it is.
02:14Do you have a dishcloth?
02:15I still have it.
02:18The one who saved her was her long-time friend.
02:27I'm Hideko Yamashita.
02:29She decided to organize Danshari.
02:32She can't throw away her brother's belongings.
02:35She decides to organize her sister's belongings.
02:41Nerimaku, Tokyo
02:45She lives in a quiet residential area.
02:53Hello.
02:55Hello.
02:57She is Misato, 60 years old.
03:02When you enter the house, you can see the stairs.
03:07Misato's room is on the second floor.
03:10Come in.
03:14It's very clean.
03:20I used to teach in the classroom.
03:23At that time, there were only a few students.
03:26There were only three tables.
03:28The students were sitting, so there was nothing left.
03:34Misato used to teach elementary school students here.
03:40However, due to COVID-19, she is on leave.
03:46The two daughters are independent and live alone.
03:53Is this your house?
03:55This is not my house.
03:57This is my family's house.
03:59I want to organize Danshari in my family's house.
04:04This house was built by Misato's father 28 years ago.
04:09It's a two-story house.
04:14Misato, who got married and had a family, lived on the second floor.
04:18Her parents and brother lived on the first floor.
04:26Is it really next door?
04:28Yes, it's next door.
04:30It's not connected at all.
04:34First, here.
04:37Whose house is this?
04:39My father's house.
04:42It's been eight years since he passed away.
04:45I threw away a lot of things in the meantime.
04:50Misato's parents lived in this large Japanese-style room.
04:59My father died eight years ago.
05:01My mother died five years ago.
05:07Misato's parents' disposal is over.
05:10The room is in a very clean state.
05:13Misato is very good at cleaning up.
05:16She has a room that she can't clean up.
05:23My brother died recently.
05:26I can't throw away my brother's things.
05:30Your brother died?
05:32Yes, my brother died at the age of 58.
05:35My brother used my brother's room.
05:39My brother used my brother's room.
05:42My brother's room is in a state where nothing can be touched.
05:48Makoto, Makoto's younger brother, died two months ago.
05:58Makoto, who was six, lived with his parents at home.
06:04This is my brother's room.
06:10This room is in a state where nothing can be touched.
06:16I don't know if my brother's mind is still organized.
06:22I don't know.
06:26Makoto, who worked part-time at a company after his parents died.
06:36That farewell was sudden.
06:41The thickest blood vessel in my heart suddenly bled.
06:47It was sudden, so I suddenly bled.
06:52Makoto, who worked part-time at a company after his parents died.
06:57He said he was lying down alone at home.
07:03He was off work that day, so I went to his house.
07:09I called an ambulance myself.
07:12But the ambulance didn't tell me his name or address.
07:17The ambulance found him and took him home.
07:22When he was found, his heart stopped and he couldn't breathe.
07:28He was taken to a nearby hospital.
07:31But in the end, he didn't die.
07:40Misato, who has loved her younger brother Makoto since childhood.
07:48They have lived together in a two-story house since they became adults.
07:54It was natural for them to be close to each other.
08:01It's too early to say goodbye to my brother.
08:05I can't accept it easily.
08:10Even after 49 days, it seems that Makoto is still alive in the room.
08:21I haven't touched anything.
08:25My bag is a little...
08:27The handle is high.
08:29Underwear around here.
08:32I think it's clothes.
08:37It's a school uniform.
08:40And a comic book.
08:45I look inside the closet.
08:49But I can't touch it because it reminds me of my brother.
08:56The suit he wore to the training.
09:00The comic books he read.
09:03They were all proof that he was fine.
09:08He was really fine.
09:12I was going to continue to live.
09:20New Y-shirts, new socks, new underwear were here.
09:32But I thought I couldn't throw them away no matter what I did.
09:40So I put them in a can and had them taken away.
09:48There were traces of life in the living room.
09:54He was always sitting here.
09:57He didn't even touch this table.
10:02He didn't do anything.
10:05It was as it was when he was alive.
10:09The documents are here.
10:13But he didn't touch anything.
10:18The living room used to be full of family conversations.
10:24His parents and brother died here.
10:28He lost his family.
10:31Time has stopped.
10:36What do you want to do with your family?
10:40What should I do?
10:43I haven't thought about it at all.
10:46I can't think about it.
10:50I don't know what to do.
10:53I really don't know what to do.
10:57She can't organize her mind.
11:00But she has to do something about her illness.
11:03Only impatience grows.
11:06So she put out an SOS to the program.
11:12I have no choice but to do my best.
11:16When my parents were alive,
11:19I was able to throw away a lot of things.
11:28Of course, my brother died when he was younger than me.
11:34But I think it's rude to leave things as they are.
11:54Mr. Yamashita, please help me move forward.
12:02Excuse me.
12:05Hello.
12:07Nice to meet you.
12:13It's spacious.
12:15Yes, it is.
12:17This is my brother's room.
12:20He died.
12:23This room will be cleaned up.
12:28She can't organize her mind.
12:31She has to do something about her illness.
12:34She had an acute illness.
12:37But she has to do something about it.
12:41I have no choice but to do something about it.
12:52When people die,
12:56they leave a lot of things behind.
13:02This is my brother's room.
13:05This is where my brother used to sit.
13:09Oh, I see.
13:11I can't do anything about it.
13:15I can't do anything about it.
13:18I thought I couldn't do anything about it.
13:23But after two months,
13:27I started to feel more and more pain.
13:35I see.
13:37I understand what you mean.
13:41Your brother must have been surprised.
13:45Yes, he was.
13:47He must have thought he was dead.
13:51Yes.
13:52Your brother may be surprised.
13:55But I was surprised, too.
13:58Even if we were surprised,
14:00the truth wouldn't change.
14:02So I told him to leave the things he left behind to me.
14:07I see.
14:09So you told him to leave the things he left behind to you.
14:15Yes.
14:16Let's try it.
14:19Organizing things is a difficult task, both mentally and physically.
14:27Yamashita-san says,
14:29if you can't organize your mind,
14:32you don't have to hurry.
14:35I may be able to do it without a manual.
14:39I may be able to do it without a manual.
14:45I don't know if I should take a long time to do it.
14:51I just do it.
14:53I just accept my feelings.
14:59I just accept my feelings.
15:03It seems that Misato-san is mentally prepared.
15:10One more thing.
15:12It's not just about my father.
15:15My parents and my brother
15:19had to take care of this space.
15:23My parents had to take care of this space.
15:26I didn't use it.
15:28I didn't use it.
15:30I have to figure out how to revive this space.
15:37Not only things,
15:39but also the house.
15:41I have to take care of the house of one generation.
15:44I have to take care of the house of one generation.
15:46I have to do some renovation.
15:51The house is made of wood and the sound is so loud.
15:55The house is made of wood and the sound is so loud.
15:57The house is made of wood and the sound is so loud.
15:59The house is made of wood and the sound is so loud.
16:01The house is made of wood and the sound is so loud.
16:05Misato-san was left behind
16:08by her parents and her brother.
16:11What to do with this big house
16:14seems to be a future challenge.
16:21There were people who came to help Misato-san.
16:28They live in the neighborhood.
16:30They are classmates in the Ikebana classroom.
16:32They have been friends for 20 years.
16:35They get along well.
16:39I think it would be ridiculous
16:42to throw away what I left behind.
16:46But I really don't need it.
16:50I left it.
16:53Even if it's a lost item,
16:55I can't keep it for a year.
16:59So, with a feeling of gratitude,
17:03I will put it in a proper place.
17:06So, I will tell my brother
17:08to rest assured.
17:12I see.
17:14Instead of throwing it away,
17:16it's a feeling of gratitude.
17:18Now, let's get started.
17:22I will take care of the clothes.
17:25Me, too.
17:27And the book.
17:32The book is more difficult.
17:34So, give me the book and bring it over there.
17:44One person, please.
17:49What she took out of the room
17:51is collected in the living room.
17:57There are a lot of comics under the bed.
18:01It was Makoto-san's hobby.
18:07Did you like comics?
18:09Yes, there are a lot of comics.
18:12I see.
18:15Do you want to talk about comics
18:17when you are at home?
18:19No.
18:20I don't read comics.
18:23I don't read comics at all.
18:26I don't read comics at all.
18:28Even though we are siblings,
18:31we are older sisters and younger brothers.
18:34And we have our own lives.
18:38There are a lot of things
18:40that Makoto-san doesn't know.
18:42Yes, there are a lot of things.
18:44There are a lot of things.
18:49People collect a lot of things
18:54and leave a lot of things.
18:59One side of Makoto-san's brother
19:01that Makoto-san's sister didn't know.
19:04Organizing the garbage
19:06is facing the individual again.
19:11With the help of Makoto-san's friend,
19:13Makoto-san's brother
19:15is working at a high pace.
19:20Organizing the garbage
19:22can't be done alone.
19:24Is that so?
19:25It's hard to do it alone.
19:31The front is too strong.
19:34And Makoto-san has a strong sense of responsibility
19:37so it's hard to do it alone.
19:41That's why your friend came today.
19:44In a way,
19:46it's very important
19:48that you don't have so many memories.
19:54There are a lot of photos and albums.
19:59This is painful.
20:01The people who are left behind.
20:04I'm sorry.
20:08From the inside of the room,
20:10there are things that haven't been used for years.
20:15There's nothing but things I forgot.
20:18There's nothing but things I didn't need.
20:24There's a lot of dust.
20:26I really didn't clean it.
20:31There's a lot of dust.
20:33There's a lot here too.
20:36You haven't used it for more than 20 years.
20:40That's right.
20:45Do you have any memories of this land and this house?
20:52Memories?
20:57What's the most difficult thing to do on a train?
21:01The most difficult thing is
21:03whether it's the land that's hard to leave.
21:06It's the house that's hard to throw away.
21:09It's the family that's hard to leave.
21:12Family, land, and house.
21:14That's the most difficult.
21:17Family is hard to leave,
21:19land is hard to leave,
21:21and the house is hard to throw away.
21:24Yes, the house is hard to throw away.
21:26I'm sorry to say this earlier,
21:28but I feel like that time has come.
21:31I see.
21:34So instead of thinking about what to do with this house,
21:38I feel like I can find a new house.
21:41Oh, that's a good idea.
21:43Yes.
21:45So instead of thinking about this house,
21:48I think it's a good idea to find a house
21:51that's suitable for Misato now
21:54instead of this house.
21:56I think that's another option.
21:59You don't need a house this big.
22:01No, I don't.
22:03I really don't need it.
22:05There are houses that are easy to live in.
22:08This house is too big.
22:10Yes.
22:11It's really big.
22:13It's too big.
22:15It's a burden to open the windows.
22:18It's an old house,
22:20so I can't help but open the windows.
22:23I can't help but open the windows.
22:26It's completely over my capacity.
22:30It's completely over my capacity.
22:33Then, I think it's a good idea
22:36to have a little room for improvement.
22:42Will she start looking for a house
22:45that's suitable for her now?
22:50It's been three hours since she started carpentry.
22:54There's nothing left.
22:56There's nothing left.
22:58It's so clean now.
23:02The room where her brother used to live
23:05after he passed away.
23:09Only the memories remain in her memory,
23:12and the remains are scattered with a sense of regret.
23:18With this, she can move forward
23:21one step at a time.
23:36The closet where her suit and manga were left.
23:42She did her best.
23:47Her brother's photos and albums
23:50are in the closet.
23:54She doesn't have to hurry.
23:58It's so clean.
23:59It's so clean.
24:01This is the best part.
24:03I agree.
24:05I have to make it lighter.
24:08I have to make it lighter.
24:13I called my parents and brother.
24:16I called my parents and brother.
24:19They said,
24:20I can be full of myself.
24:22They said,
24:24I can be full of myself.
24:27You can be full of yourself, too.
24:29I have to think about becoming lighter.
24:32I have to think about becoming lighter.
24:35You're supporting me so much.
24:37You're supporting me so much.
24:40She reduces what she carried alone,
24:43and her mind and life become easier.
24:46Now, it's time to leave.
24:50Thank you very much.
24:52Thank you very much.
24:55Thank you very much.
24:57Thank you very much.
25:00What's left is a living room with a lot of stuff.
25:04What will she do with this big house?
25:08Let's listen to Misato's decision.
25:16She's going to open the window of her family's house.
25:36Misato's day starts by opening the window of her family's house where no one lives.
25:45Because the house will be damaged if it gets wet.
25:54The water is gone.
25:56It's gone. I did my best to get it all out.
26:00I did my best to get it all out.
26:03This is all I have now.
26:09Yes, it's quite a mess.
26:13Although her brother's room has been demolished,
26:17the living room and kitchen are still left as they were.
26:26The dining table and shelves in the living room were ordered by her mother at her favorite imported furniture store when she was building this house.
26:37At that time, she was proud of her new house.
26:45I was happy.
26:47It's bigger than the house I used to live in.
26:53Did you talk to your brother when you built this house?
26:58Did you talk to your brother when you built this house?
27:00When I built this house?
27:04I didn't talk to him.
27:08I don't think so.
27:11I don't think so.
27:15Misato and her younger brother Makoto were born and raised in Nerima, Tokyo.
27:23Her father, who ran the company, said he was in love with his eldest son, Makoto.
27:32He was a big boy.
27:35My parents wanted him to be a baseball player.
27:38He was in the Little League.
27:41I didn't know how many tens of thousands of gloves he bought.
27:49He bought a lot of gloves.
27:54Makoto and Makoto are good at sports.
27:59They were good brothers who were well-known in the neighborhood.
28:06After graduation from university, Makoto and Makoto got their own jobs.
28:11Makoto started to work at a financial company and was busy.
28:19Makoto and Makoto were good friends.
28:23What kind of brother was he?
28:26I didn't talk to him.
28:28I didn't talk to him since I grew up.
28:33I built my own house.
28:36I didn't go out with him.
28:42Makoto and Makoto were good friends.
28:45Makoto and Makoto were good friends.
28:51Makoto and Makoto were always close to each other.
28:56But Makoto and Makoto didn't talk much.
29:03Makoto and Makoto should have talked more.
29:08Makoto and Makoto should have talked more.
29:15Makoto and Makoto were good friends.
29:22Hello.
29:25Hello.
29:28They are friends from Ikebana class.
29:31They came to help again.
29:34That's great.
29:36I was so surprised.
29:38I'm almost done.
29:40I still have a lot to do.
29:44That's great.
29:50Tomorrow is the day to collect the garbage.
29:53Makoto and Makoto brought the bed in Makoto's room
29:57and the non-flammable garbage together.
30:02It's impossible to do this alone.
30:05I'm so grateful.
30:08The garbage is piled up.
30:14The furniture and table that Makoto bought with his mother are also disposed of one by one.
30:22It's so hard to see.
30:24It's amazing how hard they work.
30:28The tableware is also scattered.
30:33Do you throw away all the tableware?
30:36I don't have any good tableware here.
30:40I don't have any tableware that I like.
30:43So I throw them all away.
30:48Even so, there were a lot of tableware.
30:55There are a lot.
30:57It's amazing that there is a vacuum cleaner.
31:02There were four people.
31:05There are four people, but there are so many tableware.
31:08I don't know what to do.
31:10There are four people, so I can't use them all.
31:13It's not over yet.
31:15No, there are still a lot of tableware.
31:18There are still a lot of tableware.
31:20There are still a lot of tableware.
31:24Is this also a tableware?
31:26There are still a lot of tableware.
31:29There are still a lot of tableware.
31:32It's coming out of the kitchen shelf.
31:38It's probably a mother's tableware.
31:46All the shelves are full.
31:52Did you cook by yourself?
31:55I did.
31:56I'm good at cooking.
32:00Then, there may be something for Makoto.
32:08There is no Shibuyoshi anymore.
32:13Can I use this?
32:15Can I use this?
32:20Misato is a little confused.
32:24On the other hand, her friends...
32:27I think Zaru-soba is good.
32:31Zaru-soba is good.
32:32Thank you for the food.
32:35You should take this with you.
32:38It's fun to hear the laughter of her friends.
32:42Yamashita-san said that she couldn't clean up by herself, but it's true.
32:51Are you okay?
32:54Finally, the most important thing of the day.
32:58The work of the day is done by putting it out of the kitchen shelf.
33:06You threw away a lot.
33:09These will be collected as material garbage tomorrow.
33:14After the hard work, she takes a break with sweets.
33:20But she is her friend.
33:23Why does she help her to clean up?
33:30Yuki-chan, you did it.
33:32Your husband's housework.
33:34I did it.
33:35I did it.
33:36I did it.
33:37I did it.
33:38I did it.
33:39I did it.
33:40I did it.
33:41Your husband's housework.
33:43I did it.
33:44You did it.
33:45You did it, too.
33:47It was really hard.
33:50I look at various things.
33:56I think my mother felt when she disposed of it.
34:03I was wondering what to do.
34:06My husband's older sister was the type of person who would throw anything away.
34:13She threw everything away for me, so I was able to do it.
34:19But for me, it was a bit of a shame.
34:24I only have the house, the house and my mother left.
34:32I haven't done anything yet.
34:36Thinking about it, it's difficult.
34:42In the end, you don't need to keep it.
34:47That's true.
34:50It's hard to clean up after the children are gone.
34:59I'm going to clean up after the children.
35:04I'm sorry.
35:05I'm sorry.
35:06I'm sorry.
35:07I'm sorry.
35:08I'm sorry.
35:09I'm sorry.
35:10I'm sorry.
35:14Everyone's generation has become more organized.
35:19Did they think of Misato as their own?
35:24Misato's work is just a little bit more.
35:34You should do it.
35:36You should do it.
35:37Be confident.
35:39I'm going to help you.
35:41I'm going to help you.
35:48Three weeks after the start of the work,
35:51Mr. Misato's work is also at the final stage.
35:57Today, she was doing the rest of the kitchen work by herself.
36:02I was able to help a lot of my friends.
36:05It was really helpful.
36:07If I was doing it alone,
36:09I would have hated it.
36:11I'm really grateful.
36:15And this day,
36:17she was facing her last homework.
36:30She was organizing the photos of her brother, Makoto,
36:33who she couldn't touch until now.
36:42Oh, this is when I was a kid.
36:47This is when I was playing baseball.
36:50You were a baseball boy.
36:52Yes, when I was playing baseball.
36:55This is when I was in elementary school.
36:57My mother did the album,
36:59so this is the album.
37:03I haven't seen that photo for decades.
37:06I haven't seen it for decades.
37:08I haven't seen it since I was a kid.
37:11I haven't seen it for 50 years.
37:15It's amazing.
37:19These are the photos of my relatives.
37:25We were really close.
37:27We went on a lot of trips.
37:31When my brother passed away,
37:34I met my cousin.
37:37We were all playing together.
37:39We went on trips together.
37:41That's what we talked about.
37:45We talked about how unbelievable it was.
37:50As she looked at the photos Makoto left behind,
37:55little by little,
37:57the memories of her brother
38:00came back to her.
38:09There are a lot of photos of me skiing.
38:12I was in the skiing generation.
38:14They took me skiing.
38:19We went skiing together.
38:23My brother drove the car,
38:26and I rode the sled.
38:29We went skiing together.
38:35He also went fishing.
38:38He took me fishing with him.
38:41We went fishing,
38:43and he caught a lot of fish.
38:46He also caught mackerels.
38:48He was good at handling mackerels,
38:51so he made sashimi for me.
38:53He fed me mackerels.
38:58Misato soon realized something.
39:01All the photos
39:03were taken by my brother,
39:05who had a very good smile.
39:10It's because we were playing together.
39:12We went to play together.
39:14I'm sure it was fun.
39:21He passed away suddenly at the age of 58,
39:25but his brother's life was also like that.
39:28It may have been a fulfilling life.
39:32That's what I think.
39:39The photos that I took
39:41were selected
39:43and almost all of them were taken by my brother.
39:48It's nostalgic.
39:50And
39:51a new picture
39:53was taken
39:55with my brother.
39:58I made a big decision
40:00for my brother.
40:07One month after the beginning of the Danshari festival,
40:10a friend came to Misato's house.
40:16Come in.
40:18He invited the three people who helped him
40:20and held a room exhibition
40:22after the Danshari festival.
40:25Excuse me.
40:30It's beautiful.
40:32It's amazing.
40:34It's amazing.
40:37In the living room where he lost his master,
40:40there was no order in his heart,
40:42and his brother's picture
40:44was left behind.
40:46It was
40:50as if
40:52he had just come back from a trip.
40:57There were so many things,
40:59but Misato
41:01did her best.
41:05It's rare to see a room like this.
41:07It's big.
41:09It's big.
41:11It's not a good place to live.
41:15In the kitchen where he stopped cleaning
41:17due to the shock of his brother's death,
41:22everything was Danshari.
41:25He was able to organize his feelings,
41:27and it was good.
41:30The room is beautiful.
41:32It's beautiful.
41:34It's amazing.
41:36Everything is gone.
41:38It's amazing.
41:40He did his best.
41:42It's amazing.
41:44He did it with his brother,
41:46so everything is empty.
41:48It's amazing.
41:50It's amazing.
41:52What was difficult?
41:54What was difficult?
41:56It was the most difficult
41:58when he separated the garbage.
42:00All of this is garbage.
42:04It was difficult.
42:06He disposed of the garbage by himself.
42:11If he had been alone all the time,
42:13his brother's room
42:15might not have been able to do this much.
42:17It's empty.
42:19It's really empty.
42:21It's amazing.
42:23It's amazing.
42:25It's amazing.
42:27It's amazing.
42:29It's amazing.
42:31It's amazing.
42:33It's amazing.
42:35At first,
42:37you couldn't throw away your brother's room.
42:39Yes.
42:41When I started cleaning,
42:43I was able to do it.
42:45I thought it would be better
42:47to leave things as they are.
42:49I thought it would be better
42:51to lose things.
42:53So,
42:55at first,
42:57I thought I couldn't throw it away.
42:59But now,
43:01I can throw it away
43:03and my house is in a state
43:05where there is nothing.
43:07If he had done it alone,
43:09he would have been sick.
43:11I'm really grateful.
43:13That's smart.
43:17That's great.
43:19It's refreshing.
43:21He's giving us a offering.
43:23What right have you had to...
43:25I am really grateful
43:27to have a friend here.
43:29And since they are Gunslane teammates,
43:31it is a relief
43:33that so many people are supporting
43:35our house.
43:37Cleaning in a room
43:39is something that
43:41It's too much work to do it all by myself.
43:44It's physically and mentally hard work.
43:47I want people to say,
43:49please help me!
43:52People tend to think that
43:54the funeral is a way to bury the dead.
43:59But in fact, it's also a new beginning
44:03to start a new life with a new church.
44:09A house is hard to throw away,
44:12a land is hard to leave,
44:15and a family is hard to build.
44:17It's a lot of work,
44:19but it's also very important
44:22to create a new theater,
44:26a new space.
44:30But it's hard to do it all by myself.
44:33A lot of people don't realize that.
44:36Even though the house isn't my size anymore,
44:40I'm trying to protect it.
44:43A lot of people are having a hard time.
44:46I think I made a good decision this time.
44:58After cleaning up the ruins,
45:00the house is clean again.
45:02On that day, she went to the classroom with her friends.
45:10Ms. Misato made a decision.
45:16I've decided to rebuild the house.
45:19You have?
45:20Yes, I have.
45:21You have?
45:22Yes, I have.
45:25So you're going to move out?
45:27No, that's not what I meant!
45:30That's not what I meant!
45:35From now on,
45:37she's going to live in a house where she can live alone.
45:41She's trying to start a new life
45:44with the help of her friends.
45:49So,
45:51my little brother in heaven,
45:53don't worry.
45:56I can't stop laughing!
