Japanese best-selling author is on a mission to organize the world with her tidying-up methods. She was only 16 when she believes a god spoke to her..............

Steve Jobs, black turtle necks personified the Apple Mac user's inner artist. President Donald Trump's larger than life personality is the bedrock for his eponymous business empire.

And Marie Kondo is as compact, minimalist and poised as the homes  rendered tidy by followers over her manifesto.

One of the world's top organizing consultants, Kondo is a best selling author and cleanliness guru. Her company, KonMari Media, is on a mission to organise the world, one household at a time, and in her household of Japan her message had made her celebrity. Internationally, she has gone to ''konvert'' millions to her cause.

Two of her four books on eradicating household clutter have been published in English and have become global smash hits.

Her first : The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, has sold almost 6 million copies worldwide since its release in 2011. In the United States it has sold almost 1.5 million copies worldwide and has stayed on The New York Times best-seller list for more than two years.

On the Internet, Kondo's fans can be enthusiastic. They form support and advice groups, share photos and post updates on their tidying progress. Others dissect her philosophy, interpreting and adopting her manifesto to everything from sock folding to human relationships.

The more extreme followers - self-proclaimed Konverts - use her name as a verb. To ''kondo'' is the act of vigorous, heartfelt decluttering, as in such phrases as : ''I'm just kondoing my closet.''

From Kondo's writing her personality can be perceived as quirt intense and forthright.

''I think some readers do get that impression of me,'' she replied in Japanese, through an interpreter, ''because I use a lot of declarative sentences in my books.''

But Kondo in the flesh, does not come across as intense. Petite, charming and demure, she seems not far removed from the distilled, Zen-like serenity she portrays in photographs. She sits straight-backed her hands folding and unfolding in her lap.

Getting information about her past is not easy. Outside of what she writes about herself in her books and blogs - an anecdote here, a TV interview there - she values her privacy.

''Having always been a recluse, obsessed with organizing, such privacy is important to me,'' Kondo told China daily Asia Weekly.

''It's been going well so far, particularly overseas. I don't get recognized in public so much as yet,'' she smiled, adding ''It's fine.''

So, not quiet your typical cult leader. And yet, according to Kondo's own story of how her life work began, her mission may indeed be divinely inspired. She was only 16 when she believes a god spoke to her.

To some, the idea of deity offering cleaning tips might be disconcerting, but for Kondo, tidying really has been her life's calling.

At age 5 she was leading her mother in tidying the house. Later, in school, she preferred being class monitor to playing outside, spending recess organizing the classroom bookshelves.

The need to tidy became an obsession. She threw away family keepsakes and palmed off unwanted  items as ''gifts'' to her younger sister.

But the heavens intervened when Kondo, trash bag in hand decided to throw out everything in her bedroom. She looked at the mess and fainted.

When she awoke  two hour later, there was voice in her head. ''Look at things more carefully,'' it said.

''I don't know whether it was an actual voice or feeling that came from [within] myself,'' Kondo told the The Times of London in January 2016. ''I believe it was god of tidying....... That was the moment when I had my inspiration.''

From that point the trajectory of he work shifted
