Marie Kondo is a Japanese organizing consultant, author, and television personality known for her unique approach to decluttering and organization. She gained international fame with her book, *The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up*, which introduces the KonMari Method. This method encourages individuals to keep only items that "spark joy" and to organize their belongings by category rather than location. Kondo has also hosted several television shows, including *Tidying Up with Marie Kondo*, where she helps families declutter their homes. Her philosophy emphasizes mindfulness and gratitude, promoting a more intentional lifestyle. Kondo's influence has inspired many to rethink their relationship with possessions and embrace minimalism.
