The new common sense of weekend tidying” in 2024. It will be on Tuesday, August 27th.
In recent years, where “tidying up = throwing away things” has become mainstream, the key to Furuken’s tidying techniques is to “hide things instead of throwing them away” by making effective use of storage and empty space. Because you don’t have to choose or organize things to throw away, it’s gaining popularity among people who have no sense of tidying up, people who are raising children, and people who are just busy people.
In the magazine, we explain an eye-opening technique for cleaning up scales that anyone can easily do, using examples from the “Weekend Before and After” video. You can also access YouTube videos from the posted two-dimensional barcode. In addition, we will introduce famous quotes and strange sayings in the video that will bring you to tears and burst into laughter, as well as behind-the-scenes footage from the filming. In addition, we will dissect the unique Mr. Furuken, who has the nickname “Bulldozer Junko”! This is a book that will satisfy not only fans of “Weekend Before and After,” but also those who worry about tidying up and those who can’t throw it away.
Even people who are clueless about tidying up, busy people, and people who can’t throw anything away can feel refreshed with the “old-school tidying technique”!
To tidy up, you have to throw things away. This is considered common sense when it comes to tidying up.
But it can’t be thrown away so easily. Then you don’t have to throw it away! Even if you don’t throw things away, you can keep your house tidy. The important thing is to “change the scenery.” That is the “new common sense of tidying up” that I propose.

◆New common sense 1. You don’t have to throw things away! Just “Put it together, bury it, and change the place where you put it”
“Shuru”… To move all the things scattered around the room to somewhere else. “Bury”: To temporarily store collected items in the back of a storage room. In other words, “change the place you put things.”
You can create a “scenery” that you have never seen before without spending time cleaning up. That is the basic method of Furuken-style.

By cleaning up the uncomfortable living room, your family will be able to gather together more naturally, and your family relationships will improve, with fewer small disputes. The environment allows them to concentrate on their studies and work, and they often receive reports of people getting promoted or passing the exam.

Hide things that destroy the scenery behind the door! To maintain a beautiful view, just “hide” the clutter. The ideal place to hide is inside the door. No matter how messy the interior is, the view remains intact when the door is closed. The important thing is to set clear boundaries and never leave things in areas you choose not to clutter. The next step is to increase your storage capacity.

Furuken-style tidying is also characterized by its use of language that appeals to the senses. There is no harm in knowing important keywords for tidying up!
[Vacant land]
A state where you have gathered things and no longer have any unnecessary items. You can use it for the entire room, or for pinpoint areas such as on the floor or table.

As the meaning of “outland land” suggests, it refers to a room or storage space that is far from the center of the house.

It often refers to the scenery or situation after everything is out, but it can also refer to a situation that is simply a mess.

Loud voice. Chat. He tends to say exactly what he thinks, but his sincerity can loosen the hearts of even the most stubborn people. It is called Junko’s eye measure because it allows you to measure length quite accurately just by looking at the eyes. My eyesight is surprisingly poor and I usually wear glasses.
“ear”
So-called hell ears. In order not to miss the client’s true intentions when speaking in a murmur, surgical procedures tend to change frequently.
“hand”
Wearing gloves dulls your senses, so stick to bare hands while working. Even while cleaning, you can detect dirt with your
fingertips.
“Weekend before-after festivals” are held regularly in various parts of Japan, where “we have fans all over the country.” Junko-bushi, such as the behind-the-scenes stories of the shooting, is a big hit every time!
