I am Harald Hayen - carver name Hako.
Hako = Ha from Hayen and Ko from Minko, my favourite carver of all times.
I carve netsuke etc. since 1975 .
I did circa 2000 netsuke over the years, do not want to be an artist - a carver only.
There is a good friend in the Netherlands, Ko Baas, who is doing fantastic
netsuke etc. . You may see his work under netsuke.nl
Here I show my carvings since the 21.05. 2025,
