Hako Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hallo carvers: I did not show my work for some months. Here are badgers or tanukis in the way Tanaka Minko carved them. I like this animal and carved it as okimono, netsuke and ojime. The okimono is of castello, a piece of wood, that Ko Baas gave to me. The Netsuke is boxwood and the ojime stagshorn. Eyes are in brass, Tortoiseshell (comb) or horn. Then I made the first six animals for my zodiak in the style of Minko. I wood like to have originals, but they are soooooo expensive. When the twelve animals are ready , I will show them again by single pictures. They are of boxwood, ox of ebony and eyes of brass and hornpipils. This is my Minko project. I will show my other work with my own forms in the next days. There are netsuke of different materials - its nice to carve netsuke in as many materials , as possible. I also like to complete sagemono , its a hobby I share with Ko, he makes really good tonkotsu. Greetings to all crvers, Hako Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Anderson Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 >I wood like to have originals, but they are soooooo expensive. Creating it myself is the only way I can ever hope to own fine original art. About 15 years ago my wife sold her all time favorite pencil drawing (she's a much better artist than I)and was always sad she let it go. A few years later I was able to buy it back and give it to her as a surprise. I ended up paying about 30% more than we had sold it for but it was worth every penny. It's also my favorite. As well as talented you look to be prolific. I need to work at that. Thank you for sharing your work. It's a pleasure to view. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hako Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hello Sergio - the dragon is in. Hello JP - thankyou for the little story. Here is my first carving from 1976. I gave it as birthday present to a friend and got it back in 2002, when he died. I´m so happy to have it. It is an Oni, that tries to be Hotei. Carved from bruyere.
