observation from The Wabi-sabi House: the Japanese art of imperfect beauty

They provide a tactile meditation almost impossible to find anywhere else.

"They" are "[t]he arts of spinning wool, making pottery, and weaving baskets". They are "more than just wabi-sabi items for your house." They provide.
