‘Some things we know are present cannot be seen with our eyes.’ This Japanese belief has existed for thousands of years. Through tidying up and discarding their possessions, characters in these stories come face-to-face with their memories and realise that somethings exist but cannot be seen with their eyes. Each story touches on the moment when people realise what happiness in life means and choosing things that truly spark joy. In these stories, Miko, a professional tidying consultant based on Marie, helps people tidy their homes and identify items that bring them joy. Along with her companion, an opinionated talking box named Boxter, Miko has a special power that no one else knows about – the ability to hear the voices of objects in a room.
