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 might be able to do it without a manual.
14:40I might be able to do it without a manual.
14:45But I don't know if I should take the time to do it.
14:50I don't know if I should do it right away.
14:53I just do it as it is.
14:55I just do it as it is.
14:57I just accept my feelings.
14:59That's all I can do.
15:03It seems that Misato-san is mentally prepared.
15:10One more thing.
15:12It's not just about my father.
15:15It's about my parents and my brother.
15:20I have to do something about this space.
15:23I have to do something about this space.
15:26I'm not going to use it.
15:29The next step is to revive this space.
15:37I have to do something about this house.
15:40I have to do something about this house.
15:44I have to do something about the renovation.
15:51This house is made of wood, so the sound is very loud.
15:55This house is made of wood, so the sound is very loud.
15:58I have to do something about this space.
16:01I have to do something about this space.
16:05Misato-san was left behind by her parents and her brother.
16:11It seems that the future of this big house will be a 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 are good friends.
16:39I think it's amazing that people leave their belongings.
16:46But I don't need it anymore.
16:50I left it.
16:52I don't need it anymore.
16:56I don't need it anymore.
16:59I will put my belongings in the house with a sense of duty.
17:06I will put my belongings in the house with a sense of duty.
17:12I see.
17:14You don't throw it away, but you give it to your brother.
17:18Let's get started.
17:22I will take care of the clothes.
17:26I will take care of the books.
17:32I will hand the books over to you.
17:44I will hand the books over to you.
17:48I will hand the books over to you.
17:50She puts her belongings in the living room.
17:58There are a lot of comics under the bed.
18:01It was her 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 at home?
18:20I don't read comics.
18:23I don't read comics.
18:26I don't read comics.
18:28We are siblings.
18:31We are siblings.
18:34We have our own lives.
18:38There are a lot of things that we don't know what we were doing.
18:42There are a lot of things that we don't know what we were doing.
18:49People collect various things and leave various things.
18:59She is taking care of her brother's belongings.
19:04She is taking care of her brother's belongings.
19:11She is helping her friend.
19:14She is walking at a high pace.
19:20You can't do it alone.
19:24Is that so?
19:25It's hard to do it alone.
19:28You can't do it alone.
19:31You are too strong.
19:34It's hard to do it alone.
19:37It's hard to do it alone.
19:41Your friend came today.
19:44It's important that you don't have a lot of memories.
19:51It's important that you don't have a lot of memories.
19:55She has a lot of photos and albums.
19:59This is painful.
20:01This is painful.
20:09There are things that have not been used for many years.
20:16There are things that have not been used for many years.
20:19There are things that have not been used for many years.
20:25There is a lot of dust.
20:28There is a lot of dust.
20:32There is a lot of dust.
20:34There is a lot of dust.
20:36It's been more than 20 years.
20:39It's been more than 20 years.
20:45Do you have any memories of this land and house?
20:50Memories?
20:56What is the most difficult thing to do on a train?
21:01What is the most difficult thing to do on a train?
21:04It's hard to leave the land.

21:34It's hard to leave the land.
21:36It's hard to leave the land.
21:38It's also difficult to find a new home.
21:51It's not easy to find a new home here,
21:54and you are looking for a house
21:57that fits your current needs instead of a house that doesn't.
22:02A house this big is easy to live in.
22:05Do you have something you don't have in mind?
22:07It's so easy to clean.
22:09It's so fluffy.
22:11Yes, it is.
22:13It's so fluffy.
22:15It's like a blanket.
22:17It's like a blanket.
22:19It's an old house.
22:21I can't help
22:23cleaning the windows.
22:25I can't help
22:27cleaning the windows.
22:29I can't help

22:37I can't help
22:39cleaning the windows.
22:42She's going to find her favorite house.
22:50It takes three hours to find her favorite house.
22:55I got rid of everything.
22:57I got rid of everything.
22:59I'm so happy.
23:01The room was in the same condition after his brother passed away.
23:08Only memories are left in his mind.
23:12He is very sad about the loss of his brother.
23:18He can take a step forward with a new mindset.
23:26Thank you very much.
23:29Thank you very much.
23:32Thank you very much.
23:36The closet was left with only a suit and a manga.
23:42He did his best.
23:47He decided to take a look at his brother's photos and albums when he had time.
23:54There was no need to hurry.
23:58How do you feel?
24:00I feel much better.
24:02Especially here.
24:04I agree.
24:06I have to take it easy from now on.
24:10I agree.
24:15I called my parents and my brother.
24:19I told them I could take it easy.
24:21I agree.
24:23This house is heavy.
24:26I agree.
24:28This house is heavy.
24:30I should take it easy from now on.
24:33I agree.
24:35Thank you for your support.
24:37Thank you very much.
24:40He took it easy from now on.
24:46Here we go.
24:50Thank you very much.
24:52Thank you very much.
24:55Thank you very much.
24:57Thank you very much.
25:00There are still many things left in the living room.
25:04What will he do with this big house?
25:08Let's see what Misato decides.
25:25What will he do with this big house?
25:36Misato's day starts with opening the rain window of her parents' house where no one lives anymore.
25:46The house is damaged when the humidity accumulates.
25:55The rain is gone.
25:57The rain is gone. I did my best to take everything out.
26:01I took out everything I could.
26:04This is all I have now.
26:09I took a lot of things out.
26:14His room was demolished,
26:17but the things his family left in the living room and kitchen remained.
26:25The dining table and shelves in the living room were ordered by his mother at her favorite imported furniture store when he built this house.
26:39At that time, he was proud of his new life in the house.
26:46I was happy.
26:48This house is bigger than the one I used to live in.
26:54Did you talk to your brother when you built this house?
26:59When I built this house?
27:03I didn't talk to him.
27:07I don't think so.
27:11I don't think so.
27:14Misato, who was born and raised in Nerima, Tokyo, and her younger brother, Makoto, who is two years younger than her.
27:23The father, who ran the company, said he was in love with his eldest son, Makoto.
27:32He was a big boy.
27:35His parents wanted him to be a baseball player.
27:38He was in the Little League.
27:41He bought me a pair of gloves worth tens of thousands of yen.
27:46When I became an adult, I found out about it.
27:49I was very proud of him.
27:54His older sister studied with her younger brother who was good at sports.
27:59They were good brothers who were well-known in the neighborhood.
28:05After graduating from college, they started to work.
28:11Makoto started to work at a financial company and was busy.
28:22What kind of brother were you?
28:25I didn't talk to him.
28:28I didn't talk to him since I became an adult.
28:33Now I have my own family.
28:36I don't go out to play with him.
28:51He was always near the first and second floors of the two-story house.
28:56But when he realized it, he didn't talk to him.
29:03He should have talked to his brother more.
29:08That's what I remember now.
29:22Hello.
29:26Hello.
29:28Oh, they are friends from Ikebana class.
29:32They came to help again.
29:35That's great.
29:37I was surprised.
29:39I'm almost done.
29:41I still have a lot to do.
29:45That's great.
29:50Tomorrow is the recycling day.
29:53She brought out the bed in her brother's room and the unburnable garbage together.
30:02It's impossible to do this alone.
30:05I'm really grateful.
30:13She also disposes of furniture and tables that she bought with her mother.
30:21I can't do this alone.
30:24I have to do this with everyone's help.
30:27She also disposes of tableware.
30:34Do you throw away all the tableware?
30:37I don't have any good tableware here.
30:40I don't have any good tableware here.
30:43I throw away all the tableware.
30:47She has a lot of tableware.
30:55I have a lot of tableware.
30:58I have a vacuum cleaner.
31:00That's great.
31:02Did you have a family of four?
31:05Yes, but I don't know what to do with all this tableware.
31:10I can't use all of this.
31:14That's all.
31:16No, I still have a lot of tableware.
31:19Do you still have a lot of tableware?
31:21Yes, I still have a lot of tableware.
31:25Do you still have a lot of tableware?
31:28Yes, I still have a lot of tableware.
31:33She also disposes of the shelves in the kitchen.
31:38She disposes of the shelves in the kitchen.
31:46All the shelves are full.
31:52Did you cook yourself?
31:54Yes, I did.
31:56I'm good at cooking.
32:00She may have some of Makoto's food.
32:08She doesn't have any more tableware.
32:13Do you want to use this?
32:15No, I don't want to use it.
32:20Misato is a little hesitant.
32:24On the other hand, her friends...
32:27I thought it would be nice to have some noodles.
32:31Let's eat.
32:34You should take this.
32:38Her friends are laughing.
32:42Yamashita said she couldn't do the disposal alone.
32:48But it's true.
32:51Are you okay?
32:54In the end, she disposes of the largest amount of tableware.
33:06She disposes of a lot of tableware.
33:09These will be collected as garbage tomorrow.
33:14After the hard work, she takes a break with sweets.
33:20But even though she is her friend,
33:23why does she help with the disposal so much?
33:29You did it, didn't you?
33:31Your husband did it.
33:33I did it.
33:35You did it, didn't you?
33:37You did it, didn't you?
33:40You did it, didn't you?
33:44You did it, didn't you?
33:47It was hard.
33:50I have to look at a lot of things.
33:56When I think about how my mother felt when she disposed of it,
34:03I don't know what to do.
34:06My husband's sister is a person who can dispose of anything.
34:14She disposed of everything.
34:18I did it.
34:20I may have been a little bad.
34:25My house and my mother's house are the only ones left.
34:33I haven't done anything yet.
34:36It's hard to think about it.
34:43In the end, I don't need it.
34:47That's right.
34:50It's hard to clean up after the children are gone.
35:00That's why I'm going to do it.
35:04That's what I think.
35:06That's what I think.
35:08That's what I think.
35:10That's what I think.
35:14Everyone has become familiar with disposal.
35:19Did they think of Misato as their own?
35:24After being supported by her friends, Misato's disposal is just around the corner.
35:33It's better to do it.
35:36I'm going to help you.
35:39I'm going to help you.
35:46Three weeks after the disposal,
35:49Misato's work is at its final stage.
35:52Today, she was doing the rest of the kitchen by herself.
35:57I've had a lot of help from my friends, so I've really improved.
36:01If I was doing it alone, I would have done it while getting sick of it.
36:06I'm really grateful.
36:10And on this day, she faced her last homework left behind.
36:16A photo of her brother, Makoto, who she couldn't touch until now.
36:32This is when I was a child.
36:36I'm just going to do it.
36:38I'm going to do it.
36:40I'm going to do it.
36:42Oh, this is when I was a kid.
36:47I was playing baseball.
36:50You said you were a baseball boy.
36:52Yes, I was a baseball boy.
36:55This is when I was in elementary school.
36:57My mother did the album, so this is the album.
37:03I haven't seen that photo in decades.
37:06Maybe it's been 50 years since I last saw it.
37:15It's amazing.
37:19This is my relative's photo.
37:25We were very close.
37:27We often traveled to different places.
37:31When my brother passed away,
37:35I met my cousin.
37:38We talked about how we all played together and traveled together.
37:46I told her that I couldn't believe it.
37:51While looking at the photos left by Makoto,
37:55I began to remember things that I had forgotten about Misato.
38:09There are a lot of photos of us skiing.
38:12We were the generation that used to ski.
38:14We were the generation that used to take me skiing.
38:19We went skiing together.
38:22My brother drove the car.
38:26We went skiing together.
38:35He also went fishing.
38:38He took me fishing with him.
38:42He caught a lot of fish and mackerels.
38:47He was good at handling fish,
38:51so he cut the fish himself and made sashimi for me.
38:58Misato soon realized something.
39:06All the photos were taken by my brother with a smile on his face.
39:13It was fun because we went there to play.
39:24Although he passed away suddenly at the age of 58,
39:28his life may have been very fulfilling.
39:36That's how I remember it.
39:43The photos that he collected
39:46were selected and almost all of them were taken by him.
39:52It's nostalgic.
39:55And he made a big decision for his new life.
40:06One month after the shooting,
40:08a friend came to Misato's house.
40:14Come in.
40:16She invited three people who helped her
40:19to show her room after the shooting.
40:23Thank you for coming.
40:26Wow!
40:27It's beautiful!
40:29It's amazing!
40:32It's amazing!
40:34It's amazing!
40:37In the living room where she lost her husband,
40:40her brother's things were left unattended.
40:46It was...
40:50It was like a clean space when she moved in.
40:57Even though there were so many things,
41:00Misato did her best.
41:05I didn't know the room was this big.
41:07It's big.
41:09It's big.
41:11It's big enough to live in.
41:15Even the kitchen where her brother left to clean up
41:18after he passed away.
41:22Everything was organized.
41:25It was good that she could organize her feelings.
41:30It's beautiful.
41:32It's beautiful.
41:34It's amazing!
41:36It's amazing!
41:38It's amazing!
41:40She did her best.
41:42It's amazing!
41:44She did her best.
41:46It's amazing!
41:48It's amazing!
41:50It's amazing!
41:52What was the hardest part?
41:54The hardest part was
41:56when we had to separate the garbage.
41:59All of this was garbage.
42:04It was hard.
42:05She had to clean up all the garbage by herself.
42:11If she had been alone,
42:13she might not have been able to clean up
42:15her brother's room this much.
42:19It's really empty.
42:24It's amazing.
42:25It's amazing.
42:26It's amazing.
42:28It's really empty.
42:30It's empty.
42:32It's empty.
42:35You couldn't throw away your brother's things at first.
42:38You couldn't throw away your brother's things at first.
42:40I think I was able to do it when I started.
42:45I thought it would be better to leave things like this.
42:49I thought it would be better to leave things like this.
42:53I thought I couldn't throw them away at first.
42:57But now, I can throw them away.
43:00I can now bring my house back to life.
43:05If I had done it by myself,
43:07I would have been sick of it.
43:09I'm really grateful.
43:12I'm really grateful.
43:13I'm really grateful.
43:14I'm really grateful.
43:15I'm really grateful.
43:16I'm really grateful.
43:17I'm really grateful.
43:19I feel refreshed.
43:20I feel refreshed.
43:24I was so grateful for my friend's presence.
43:27I was so grateful for my friend's presence.
43:28It's like a group of friends.
43:30It's like a group of friends.
43:31I'm so glad that he supported me a lot.
43:35It's a lot of pressure to organize things.
43:40It's too heavy to do it by myself.
43:43It's physically and mentally difficult.
43:47I'd like him to say,
43:48I'd like him to say,
43:49I'd like him to say,
43:50Help me.
43:51I think it's important for us to think about how we can help those who have passed away.
43:59But in fact, it's also the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.
44:09A house is hard to throw away, a land is hard to leave, and a family is hard to build.
44:17It's a lot of work, but it's also very important to create a new space, a new theater.
44:30But it's hard to do it alone.
44:33There are a lot of people who don't realize that.
44:36There are a lot of people who are trying to protect this house, even though it's not their size anymore.
44:45I think we've made a good decision this time.
44:58After cleaning up the house, she went to the Ikebana classroom with her friends.
45:06Ms. Misato made a decision.
45:16I've decided to rebuild the house.
45:19You've decided?
45:21Yes, I've decided.
45:24Then you should move to a new house.
45:27No, that's not what I meant.
45:30That's not what I meant.
45:34From now on, she will move to a house where she can live alone.
45:40Ms. Misato is trying to start a new life with the help of her friends.
45:48So, Mr. Heaven's Brother, please rest assured.
45:55I'll watch you wherever you go.
