NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHORS, GENKI KAWAMURA and MARIE KONDO
What if the objects in your home could tell their stories? In Chatty Rooms, Genki Kawamura and Marie Kondo reimagine the art of tidying through seven enchanting, illustrated tales where everyday items come to life—and reveal the emotions we’ve attached to them.
Miko is a professional tidier with an extraordinary gift: when she enters a room, she can hear the voices of the objects inside. As she helps her clients sort through clothing, books, photographs, and forgotten keepsakes, each item unlocks memories, relationships, and long-buried feelings. What begins as a simple act of decluttering becomes a deeply personal journey toward letting go, reconnecting, and choosing what truly sparks joy.
Blending magical realism with gentle wisdom, this beautifully illustrated collection transforms Marie Kondo’s philosophy into a warm, imaginative reading experience—inviting you to see your belongings, and your life, in a new way.
- Seven illustrated stories exploring the emotional lives of everyday objects
- A magical realism approach to decluttering, memory, and self-discovery
- Full-color artwork throughout, bringing each story and space to life
- A fresh, story-driven take on the KonMari method and “spark joy” philosophy
- A feel-good, reflective read for fans of light novels, manga, and mindful living
Let go of what no longer serves you—and rediscover the joy waiting in the spaces you create.
