Daiwa Shobo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Satoshi Daiwa) will release 'Decluttering the Parents' Home: Reducing Anxiety by Reducing Possessions' (written by Hideko Yamashita) on May 23, 2026.

Hideko Yamashita, the creator of the 'Danshari' method and a million-selling author, has released her long-awaited new book. Many people worry about cleaning up their parents' house but don't know where to start. This book addresses unavoidable themes—from pre-inheritance organization and estate settlement to abandoned houses, nursing care, and moving in together—guiding readers to turn hesitation into action.

This book presents concrete examples of how to phase out the living space and existence of the 'parents' home,' while introducing methods and mentalities for when 'the time' comes. At the same time, it defines 'decluttering the parents' home' as a process of confirming and potentially repairing the relationship between parent and child.

Decluttering a parents' home is a clash of values between generations. Understanding that it won't go smoothly can make the process much lighter. What should you start with? What should be done immediately? This book allows readers to simulate responses to issues they have been procrastinating on.
