5/20/2023 0 Comments Goodbye, Things by Fumio Sasaki![]() ![]() (Sasaki, who lives in Kyoto, Japan, owns a suitcase but its days seem numbered. Later, I learn, the backpack is all he brought with him for his New York press tour to promote the English edition of Goodbye, Things, out April 11. He has thick-rimmed black glasses sitting on his face and he carries a large backpack, the kind people might use to go hiking. Then again, what does a minimalist look like? This one wears a gray sweatshirt over a gray shirt, slim off-black jeans, and comfortable-looking black sneakers. When I first meet Fumio Sasaki, who recently wrote a book called Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism, he is taking a picture of a neon sign in the office that reads, “I WANT IT ALL.” There’s nothing about Sasaki to indicate that he is a minimalist, someone who advocates purging unnecessary material possessions. ![]()
