WHAT IS KANSO? Now, before you think this is just about removing stuff—which, yes, that's part of it—this principle goes way deeper than decluttering. The Japanese call it Kanso, which means eliminating clutter in favor of simplicity, focusing only on what is essential and purposeful. But here's what most people get wrong about Kanso: they think it means having less stuff. That's not it. Kanso is about having the RIGHT stuff—the things that serve a clear purpose and bring you joy or function...

Can’t wait to watch other videos of yours because I’m already subconsciously doing a lot of the concepts, but don’t have a name for them.
We're on 5 hectares with 2 lakes and additional bore water. Currently I'm working on a 20 m waterfall in our Japanese inspired garden. Feel free to visit is if you ever come Down Under. 😊😊😊

Your videos are always quality, which is better than what YouTube wants us to do.
My business mentor told me that about focalization in my garden last summer, so I started doing just that. I decided to move a lot of plants that were cluttering my hardy palms, which now they get more sunlight and that will be better for them too. I’m also going for more mass plantings/ repetition. My interior design was already pretty minimalist and intentional.
Thanks again for the video, and I know I’d love to see the new garden progress!
