What minimalist really is? I'd define it as immaterial life triggered by a self awareness in various context of life.
I guess this is nothing new for a Japanese. Due to higher cost of living, limited resources and peer pressure as a result of social status, one may choose to strife in meeting the standards or redefine the needs and wants.
The latter is what trigger the minimalist in me. Personally I never felt content and grateful with what I have in life nowadays.
The exclusion of material objectives in life is about changing the mindset and bending the cultural perception which has been implanted at the back of our mind ever since.
This is a good read of what I'm talking about.
