I would absolutely recommend Soetsu Yanagi's The Beauty of Everyday Things.
It's not wabi-sabi per se but it does touch on themes that align with the idea.
It's focus is on 'mingei' - which is less metaphysical and more about folk craft specifically and its socio-cultural, and ethical significance.
Ahh thank you! This isn't one I'd heard of before so I appreciate you sharing it. The topic sounds fascinating, and definitely aligns with what I was looking for.
