"Say Goodbye Softly" is a collection of essays in which Mr. Yataro Matsuura, the author of "100 Basics" and a Japanese life esthetician, reveals his private emotions for the first time. With gentle writing style, he wrote about those people who left a beautiful mark on his life and gave him some life inspiration. As we grow older, our inner connotations become more and more beautiful. The one who teaches about the beauty of age, the one who treasures it in my heart, the one who whispers goodbye in my ear, the one who wants to hug her back, the one who falls asleep holding hands, and the one who sees each other every month... The love memories hidden deep in my heart become more pure and beautiful over time. Yataro Matsuura reveals his private emotions for the first time through essays that are like love letters, making people feel like they "wrote it to the heart and couldn't help crying" while reading it.
