History

Established in 2005.

Tokaido Gallery Japanese Antiques was established in 2005 in collaboration with McMullen’s Japanese Antiques located currently in Oxnard, California. McMullen’s Japanease Antiques has been in business for over 50 years. Tokaido Gallery was established in 2005, but was put on temporary hold as the owner, Lisa Harvey, cared for her child born with a severe disability. Now that her daughter is getting stronger and older, Lisa is able to resume her business.
