Japanese Minimalist🇯🇵: I counted EVERYTHING I own!

- In Japan, it is said that the average person living alone has about 1,500 items.
I wondered, "So how many things do I actually have?".

【Things I have】
Many people have been asking me about the things I use,
I tried to find products that is the same or similar to my items
on HP or Amazon in the USA /JPNAN.
Honestly, as a minimalist, I don't want you buy many things.
However, If you really want to, please ask yourself,
“Does this spark joy？“

If you’d like to talk, feel free to email me at samuraimatcha.japan@gmail.com I try my best to reply to things but there sadly aren't enough hours in the day to respond to everyone... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
The most honest minimalist, because so many don't count shared stuff.
Your positive and non-judgemental attitude is such a breathe of fresh air compared to a lot of TH-camrs. If you ever come to do your tea ceremony in the UK, I’ll swing by and say hello 🍵
Your videos are infectious. Your happiness makes me happy and your mininalism makes me want to be more minimalist. Thank you for the inspiration ❤
:O this makes me curious to see how many items we have at our own houses 🙈
Same
Me too! I have an outdated spreadsheet for insurance purposes but now I want to update it and divide by family member
😄！
I dare not count, i might have 200 -250 just books! And clothes is again a big count
this video inspire me to declutter my items at home! with too much items at home, organizing is not enough.
Only 371 items is actually very impressive! Good job! I’m on a journey to minimalism too, but it’s very hard for me because I love making things and sometimes I feel like I need more tools, equipment or materials to make certain things. If anyone has a similar problem, try finding tools that have multiple purposes instead of the ones that only do one specific thing. I hope that helps 😊
Thank you for sharing! You are a great inspiration! It was also nice that you ended in Japanese. Maybe you could record an entire episode in Japanese! I'd love it!
I am on my journey to becoming a minimalist. I grew up in a hoarder family and was also a hoarder my first two years after moving out. The way you live inspires me so much and I hope to meet you one day.
how's it going?
Wow! You did great just having 371 items. As you mentioned, this number makes sense only if the things you have make you happy/free.
And remember, being a minimalist is not a goal but a voyage. So, clean up, recycling and donating items can be part of your daily routine.
Good vid!
Ah I relate to feeling 悲しい when I find an item I forgot I had 👀🥺 I stored many new bags and shoes for so long they started to break, even though they have not been used. I feel like when you don't use an item, for example with elastic like socks, it breaks faster because it's sad 😱😅 So now I am trying to sell what I haven't been using. No way I can count all the items I own though 😅😂🙈
I feel happy when I get a notification that you have uploaded a new video 🥰😘😍. Thank you very much for uploading the video. Your videos fill me with so much positive energy 🍓♥️🥰😍😍🍓♥️
i would say some of the kitchen things are not "yours" but are the "houses" , for me it would of been "what am i going to take with me when i leave"
Again, you inspire me to declutter and reduce what I have to just what I need. ❤️
Your videos always inspire me to curate the items I own to be things I love and really take care of. The process to lower what I own is one I’m taking slowly so I don’t make any hasty decisions, plus working full time at a company cuts down my time to focus on this in a meaningful way. And that’s a big thing I want to do too, to do it meaningfully.
Im not yet ready to count my things lol! But I salute you for the patience in making this video!
Greetings from the Kirgiz Republic, man watching this video made me realize that I have a lot to learn as a minimalist, thanks a lot!
At the desk I'm sitting I have 48 things, including my chair and desk.
You're so funny and the video is informative and entertaining as always 😆 I'm curious about the cloth you're using to wash the dishes. I think you said "biwako fukin"? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks! 😄
Wow, impressive, I will take 3 years to count stuff that I own. My house is still a work in progress since I live with my parents. But your video is such a motivation to free up space in my house, appreciate your videos as usual
I really hope you film the whole process if you decide to declutter!
I am amazed how he hide the plugs and cords under the nice looking basket. Great idea
Your energy is wonderful and inspiring. I have come to realize that I may never be a minimalist due to my love of books, but you have taught me to appreciate the things I have. Thank you.
Thanks. Very useful tips 😊
I'm so happy I ran across your channel! I do love the content your are making and your positive vibes. Your videos calm me down so much :) lots of love from a fellow minimalist!
Always nice to see one new video from your channel!
Thank you for posting your rules. Helped me make my own minimalist rules
thank you for showing, I feel inspired.
Thank you for sharing this video with everyone. It's an eye opener. I have been on my minimalist approach for a few years, I have a lot less items than I did have and I am mainly grateful for visual decluttering but my decluttering journey continues as it has helped me so much with anxiety and well being. I started "toilet god" two months ago 😉 which has helped me too. Thank you for your help, it is really appreciated.
Your videos are so relaxing! Keep making more please.
yay! new video! i've been binging your old videos and i'm fascinated by this lifestyle
Watching this as I shove stuff in boxes. You give good lessons, Aki, and inspire more people than you realize. Thank you for this.
Your energy is inspiring! Love your content please keep it up ❤❤
Thank you for your refreshing videos! Greetings from Portugal!
I love those Kind of Videos. Thank you
I love this idea! This seems like a great way to gain some awareness around what I own. I'm so inspired to do the same thing. Making my spreadsheet now...
I need to work on this a lot!!! I definitely have way too much stuff.
I have 4 cats and a dog, so I definitely have to have extra stuff for them. We could probably pare things down a bit.
I absolutely love your suggestions for the magnesium and citric acid for doing laundry, as well as the cloth instead of using bulky bath towels (I forgot the name).
I always end up with too many clothes, but I go through them quickly because I’m a pet sitter and get really dirty really quickly.
This video is really interesting to watch. Thank you, Samurai Matcha
Just finished watching the video. It was very wholesome and relaxing. 🌿
Ohhhhh you already made a video counting your items. Nice. Watching and enjoying!
Wow! I love the graphs!!
Beautiful video! Inspiring from a fellow minimalist. Cheers from Wi Usa.
Great video man. I’ve been working on getting rid of many thing I don’t use. You are an inspiration thank you
I love your videos and lifestyle. I am working towards a similar lifestyle in my own way. Your values just align so well with my own!
Aki, thank you very very much! Such a hard work you had. Im glad that my comment among others inspired you to record this amazing video. Arigatou gosaimasu!
To be honest, I would have never completely forgotten to count a number of items that you actually thought of counting, like the cords and stuff in spare boxes. Those things are rather pesky, one never knows how to get rid of them. And now just thinking about all my junk is giving me anxiety 😅 I don't even want to get started
I love your videos, watching them is helping me to set my mind on the lifestyle I want. Plus, your English is super simple to understand, I wish you realise a podcast ✨
Thank you from Italy!
You have such practical things❤I want for Christmas 🎄
I'm new subscriber here and I must say, your "Ba-bai" at the end just gives me life 😊
It's always good to keep vigilant over what one owns. This way you don't neglect to use something useful or allow unused items to pile up. 🤔 I always love your videos. Thank you for making them.😊
amazing video! i love your channel so much.
Aki-san, thank you for this video. I am very impressed and inspired by your minimalist life. 317 items is not bad, still easy to move. I am, however appalled at how many items my Western house must have - it’s a work in progress. Minimalism looks so serene. Congratulations! Also thank you for sharing the products you use - they are a treat to explore. I may try furoshikis at the grocery store now … 🤔
Very interesting and enjoyable video. I especially like the way it ends. Even minimalists can get in the habit of focusing so much on "the next thing" that we think we need or will make us happy, we stop appreciating what we already have. Thank you for the reminder. 👍
I found this so interesting thank you for sharing. every few months I go through a phase reading about people who live with 100 items or less its just amazing to see.
Inspiring, thank you!
Thank you this is the reminder I needed as I was checking the prices on an online retailer special sale day and would for sure have bought something I didn't really need because the price looked good!
This video was cool and informative and I like the kimono that you were wearing
Thank you Aki. You are a wonderful person.
i love your lifestyle, simple and happy
Teacher, You are so right I learned a lot thank you! Daniel
I loved this video Samurai Matcha. I like your minimalist life style and your sincerity. Greetings from Bolivia.
I loved the longer length of this video and hearing your insights as always. Maybe you can make a kintsugi video next time you need to repair one of your things. Thank you Aki!
Oh wow, that ball chair is super cool!
Lovely to see you have camping gear, a ukulele and matcha accessories as they obviously spark joy to you. I found the kitchen hardest to scale down, I have western, Chinese and Japanese crockery! (But very little electrical appliance, thank goodness!)
This helped me. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for sharing. 🙏🏻😊
The closer I watch to the end, the more I want to cry 😭 I live with parents and my house used to have relatives, so I have lots lots of stuff before I understand what it is
6 : 43 quelle idée très ingénieuse 👌👌👌 je vais m'en inspirer ! Merci beaucoup 🌹
Hi Aki, I love your channel, I have been inspired by you to live minimalistic myself, it helps me a lot, I have cleaned out my things well, so thank you very much for your help...🙂Jakob from Denmark.
I really love these kinds of vids I'm a 13 yrs old teenage girl I also wanna minimalist my things and I'm trying to do it before 2022 ends its also teaching me to save up money I really love ur videos sir☺
That's awesome, it will be very useful for you in the future LOL. As a traveller i sometimes had to buy extra suitcases because i picked up too much stuff on long haul trips. I'm still striving to travel lighter!
What is this: 4:58 ??? = "When live online, without having to look away from the camera at notes on paper or on a separate screen. This system has been a perfect solution and ultra-easy to use. great for being present on video conferences."
Thank you for sharing of your entire life supply simple and cleanliness way to live it is so awesome thanks
Holy moly. Seeing items laid out, it dawns on you that we have so many!! Matcha has only 371 what the heck does 1500 look like!!! i feel sick.
very impressed, about you minimal style and your english skill so developed.
I like the 2 colour kimono you're wearing in this video!
Love your videos
Love you videos, nice to hear you speaking Japanese 😊
Very interesting video - not just because of the minimalist slant but because it was interesting to see Japanese products. I kept having to pause the video and go to Amazon to see if I could buy tatami mat slippers and Mocha towels and so on. 😂. I want a bamboo bike!❤
So cute! I enjoyed this so much. Please update us in case you’re planning to reduce your current number at 371. It will be interesting to see that process. :-) I love that at the ending you said two lines (I think) in Japanese but the finale was still in English. I miss Japan!!!!
You really motivated me to count all the things I own now; I feel like I'm sort of minimalist (I only own things I use or that make me happy), but the amount is probably like a 1000😂😂
Great video, thanks for sharing. 😀. It looks like all the things that are in the 4 paper bags are small enough and few enough they could fit into one without being hard to find when you need them .
Super cool video!! I feel the average number of what people own being 1500 is quite small! I'm sure most people have way more.
wow, that is inspiring how you do your laundry! I might try it in the future. I have been thinking about getting rid of some of my books since forever .I love books, but it makes my heart bleed that I don´t read those books that much and someone else might actually enjoy them more (I mean, I´ll probably never manage to give away the ones close to heart but still!).
you really are a minimalist! but a minimalist who is chill and happy :)
I love Japanese minalmaism . The aesthetic is so beautiful !
12 : 07 j'y pense depuis quelques temps mais je n'ai jamais osé le faire !
100 things? 371 things? Same same. You have followed your bliss as a joyful minimalist and what you keep has been intentional and helpful. When you go on an exciting adventure you have to take some cool baggage. Thank you for sharing your journey! Blessings Aki!
Aki-san, thank you for your videos. I am very inspired by them. And I like your obi belt. Is it from sou-sou? 😉
As an professional classical artist, and minimalist I definitely struggle. But your video is very inspiring as always!!!
Great video! It made me count all the stuff i own as well out of curiosity. I'd be interested in seeing a video about what you think is essential for camping and how you like to use it :^)
Hi, Samurai Matcha, thank you for sharing! I guessed there would be around 333 items, very near,,, enjoy them all. Love, Monika❣
Nice!
the spreadsheet is a good idea!!! i will follow this so i can reduce all my items
today i have less things than the day before ,, i am what remains
ahh loved this video so much! will you be downsizing your items after this video? would love to know what you ended up getting rid of!!
Love minimalism.. 🌸
This is a good idea. 🤭I will try. 1,500 stuff. Thanks for sharing!!!! 💕💕💕✌️🙏
You encourage me to improve my life, always enjoy your videos. Have you thought about discussions with other minimalist content creators? I recently found The Minimalists podcast. It might also be fun to do a 'rate my setup' of other homes or by user submission- but of course, items are only part of living without excess. Some video ideas, I just like to see more of you!
371 is quite less, I probably have around 500 and I am still in the process of reducing and minimizing since I have a lot of things I dont want anymore. I hope to cut it down to around 200 items.
This is wonderful and inspiring content. I am paring down everything in my life now and it's helpful.
I will remember Ku. I like to add Japanese characters to my letters to my friends. Often 期一会, as its meaning is deeply profound to me. I will use Ku. I appreciate the Zen sentiment. (From your comments about foreigners wearing kimono I know you will not think this cultural appropriation.)
わ〜お疲れ様でした〜！
モノを全て出すだけでも大変なのにひとつひとつ撮影をし動画を収めるのはすごく大変な作業だっただろうなと思いますx(
でもこの企画で眠っていたモノたちがスポットライトを当ててもらえて喜んでいるかもしれませんね！
大切に出来る。使える分だけ。を身の回りに置こうと言う心構えは時折思い返さなくちゃと、私も再度見直したいと思いました。
頑張りました〜。笑 物の全てにスポットライトを当てると言う考え方はとても好きです！今一度、物を把握するいいきっかけになりました！
That is amazing you only have a few items. I have so much stuff. I would love to do that but would not know where to start. Also, the money spent on the items that need to be gotten rid of. I enjoyed this video very much.
I love this guy! Something about him!
I LOVE Kintsugi! ♥️✨ It would be so much fun if I were able to come to Japan and do the Kintsugi with you! 🥰
