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,
