Shufunotomo Co., Ltd. will release the mook 'The Minimalist Lifestyle Guidebook,' which condenses the real homes and ingenious ideas of people who practice their own 'minimalist lifestyle,' on Thursday, May 14, 2026.
'The Minimalist Lifestyle Guidebook' 1,540 yen (tax included) Shufunotomo Co., Ltd.
This book is not simply about 'reducing possessions,' but a collection of real-life examples of people who have identified what is truly important to them and achieved a comfortable daily life.
PART 1: My Style of 'Minimalist Living'
Ayajima-san: What's important is not the number of things, but being 'lighthearted'.
Ayajima-san
Ayajima-san, active as an influencer, shares a lighthearted lifestyle that overturns preconceived notions, such as 'international travel with an infant and just a backpack.' She meticulously selected her clothes, reducing 200 items to 35 favorites she wants to wear every day.
She doesn't obsess over 'keeping nothing,' but chooses what she and her family love, filling the 'empty space' with 'our family's uniqueness' – revealing the essence of Ayajima's minimalism.
Miho Tamura-san: When I let go of 'longing,' money naturally started to accumulate.
Tamura-san
Tamura-san lives a rich life, keeping her monthly living expenses to about 150,000 yen. She once had an endless longing to 'have a wonderful room,' but by letting go of that, she became able to commit to 'travel,' her top priority.
She proposes mechanisms for naturally saving money without consciously trying to economize, and smart ways to manage material desires.
PART 2: 9 Popular Influencers 'What We Let Go Of'
Kayo-san: The peace of mind and new storage found after discarding a large dish cupboard.
After a poignant experience with infertility treatment, Kayo-san began to 'shrink' her life. Letting go of things created mental space, leading to a continuous stream of surprising ideas.
Kayo-san
Time-saving housework: 'Don't fold' laundry. Simply storing clothes on hangers drastically reduces housework time.
Removal of large furniture: Disposed of a wooden dish cupboard purchased at marriage. Replacing it with a compact stainless steel shelf eliminated the oppressive feeling in the kitchen and provided peace of mind regarding disaster prevention.
Alternative to trash cans: Replaced space-consuming trash cans with file boxes under the sink. This also led to the welcome change of reducing the amount of trash itself.
Practical Ideas for 'Minimalist Living' You Can Try Tomorrow!
This book introduces a wealth of 'things to let go of' and 'alternative ideas' across various genres, including fashion, kitchen, money, and childcare.
・Don't own a rice cooker; use a 'Hot Cook' for versatility.
・Strictly select only two types of detergent, drastically reducing the burden of stock management.
・Utilize 'zippered bags' for children's clothing storage, adapting flexibly as they grow.
This guidebook is a 'model' for finding your own unique lifestyle, offered to everyone who feels 'like they're losing themselves' in their busy daily lives.
