Any good books on Japanese philosophy/aesthetics, in particular wabi-sabi? (pawb.social)

I've always found the concept of wabi-sabi quite fascinating and I'd love to find out a bit more. Are there any books that explore this concept? Something quite approachable would be good.

This is unrelated but you may find this amusing. I never knew that was a legitimate term until now. As a kid I played a lot of Ape Escape and there is a level called Wabi Sabi Wall. I thought it was just sort of nonsense meant to sound foreign.
