Marie Kondo makes a living helping others find things that "spark joy" in their lives, so it's not surprising that the petite tidying consultant would have no trouble finding things that bring happiness in her own life.
In January 2019, the KonMari founder talked to HelloGiggles about the three items that "spark joy" in her life, saying, "The crystal in my bedroom, my earthen pot, 'donabe,' in which I cook special rice, [and] my antique writing desk."
Kondo described cooking in her donabe, a ceramic Japanese pot, to Bon Appétit in January 2019, saying, "The last thing I cooked was a rice dish cooked in fish stock, made in my donabe. I got the cooking bug last January. I've always liked it, but when I got married, my husband was very much into cooking. So I got into it too. The first thing I cooked was a chicken soup that my mother taught me the recipe for." The same interview revealed that there are three donabes, each with its own purpose in the kitchen, in Marie Kondo's home.
