"animism" is not really the right word but she was a shrine maiden for years as a teen and the "spark of joy" is actually the spark of the gods
Kondo says that her method is partly inspired by the traditional Japanese Shinto folk religion. Cleaning and organising things properly can be a spiritual practice in Shintoism, which is concerned with the energy or divine spirit of things (kami) and the right way to live
Kami refers particularly to the power of phenomena that inspire a sense of wonder and awe in the beholder (the sacred), testifying to the divinity of such a phenomenon. It is comparable to what Rudolf Otto described as the mysterium tremendum et fascinans, which translates as "fearful and fascinating mystery"
