ABSTRACT

This project seeks to understand the philosophical consequences of the Westernization of the KonMari method, a tidying method initiated by Japanese professional Marie Kondo that finds popularity with her book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (2014), and her 2019 Netflix series centering on this cleaning process. Utilizing the work of Christopher Lasch and current literature on cultural appropriation, this essay applies principles of philosophy of communication to the Westernization of the KonMari method in order to understand the implications associated with uprooting a traditionally-based housekeeping method and inserting it into a narcissistic frame.
