近年,強調「減法」為要領的居家整理風潮,從日本吹到台灣;在日本,早有給一般人上的整理課程與領有證照的整理師,相關書籍與電視節目更源源不絕,近年一本從日本紅到台灣的整理書《斷捨離》,更賦予整理理論基礎,成為流行的文化詞彙。
In recent years a Japanese home organizing movement based on “subtraction” has made big inroads in Taiwan. In Japan one can find certified organization specialists and full-fledged organizing curriculums, as well as a never-ending stream of books and television shows on the subject. In Taiwan, meanwhile, the Japanese book Danshari, which provides a systematic and theoretical basis for decluttering, has proved hugely popular, and the word that serves as its title has entered the popular lexicon.

旅日作家劉黎兒指出,真正徹底的斷捨離,應該從少買或只買絕對需要的物品做起,然而,日本社會的方法論都偏向「捨」的面向,好像光丟掉就能帶來安心,結果是給原本大量消費的人繼續消費的藉口;其次,過於勉強的斷捨離也容易造成反動,有人丟完之後,改以大吃大喝來抒解壓力,也有人一口氣丟太多,到頭來又去買回。
Author Lill Liu, a resident of Japan, argues that the truest dan­shari approach puts the focus on purchasing very little or only buying what you absolutely need. Japanese society, however, seems instead to have put most of the emphasis on disposal, believing that the indiscriminate purging of possessions will somehow bring inner peace. The upshot is that shopaholics end up with an excuse to feed their addiction in a big way. Moreover, forcing dan­shari upon the reluctant can spur unhealthy reactions. After dan­shari purges, some have been known to gorge themselves or drink excessively as a way to release pressure. Others end up regretting having discarded so much and buy some of it back.

「台灣人家中物件數量不比日本人多,空間也稍寬敞,很難說有那麼迫切需要斷捨離,倒是該把握少買、不買的原則,」劉黎兒說。
“Taiwanese homes don’t have any more stuff than Japanese homes, despite being larger. It would be hard to argue that there is a pressing need for dan­shari in Taiwan,” says Liu. “Nevertheless, we should take to heart its principle of refusal and buy less to begin with.”
