TOKYO -- Organizing consultant Marie Kondo, affectionately nicknamed "KonMari," has become a global phenomenon for her unique method of keeping objects that "spark joy," and thanking objects that do not before letting them go. Her Netflix original TV series "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" was a smash hit in the U.S.
But she sparked a fierce debate when she told media that she had "given up on tidying" in her own home after the birth of her third child.
