N e t s u k e

I am Harald Hayen - carver name Hako.

Hako  =  Ha from Hayen and Ko from Minko, my favourite carver of all times.

I make netsuke etc. since 1975 and collect older stuff, when

it is available for my small moneypouch.  Here I show  what I carve.

I made circa 1800 netsuke over the years, do not want to be an artist - a carver only.

Sometimes it´s important for me to try copies of first class old netsuke to improve my eyes and hands.

There is a good friend in the Netherlands, Ko Baas, who is doing fantastic

netsuke etc. . You may see his work under        netsuke.nl
