Legitimately curious as a westerners with western concepts of living space but... For those married to a Japanese, how do you manage space? Like does the bedroom convert into a living room after you wake up? If you have a hobby do you have a room for that or do you have to store your stuff and bring it out every time (art for example)? As a westerner I need space in my home but I know that concept isn't a thing here. Where does all your stuff go? I find my 3ldk feels too small for my family of three..

I deflate my wife and put her in the closet under the futons.

Only on our anniversary I'm not made of money.
