As a Japanese, he once was a hoarder! Not anymore, as he tells us his reasoning that we do not need most of the things we possess. If they read Fumio, they will go right ahead and chuck their stuff.įumio is a minimalist, not so much because he is a Japanese, who are more minimalist than many other societies, but because he was reacting to his ‘overly cluttered pigpen’. There are people who are on the verge of deciding whether to keep their keeps sakes or throw them away. But there are many in the middle, who at times feel that their lives and living conditions are cluttered. Some people are neat and minimalist by nature, and this book will not add much other than the pleasure of reading a fine personal account of the life of a minimalist. Some people are hoarders by nature and this book will never appeal to them. He got rid of all his books (all £7,000 worth), CDs, rolls and rolls of developed photographs, and, well, almost everything else he owned.
Fumio advocates a style of living that is close to that of the ascetic, and is difficult to live as he does – he has only four shirts.
