Come shop from Mitsuo’s household and collection. This house is nothing if not filled to the brim with artifacts and collectibles (many fantastic Asian items he brought back from Japan) and most items are in mint condition which is awesome considering their age.

The following write up about Mitsuo was shared by his son Rich and we thank him~
Dad was raised in Stockton, CA as a tomato farmer with his 8 brothers and sisters. During WWII, the family was displaced into internment camps in TuleLake and Manzanar, CA. After the war, with all their land, money and farming equipment taken by the federal and local governments, the family returned to their parents hometown in Japan near the Hiroshima bomb site to try collective farming. With nothing much left there, they soon returned to the Los Angeles area. Dad joined the US Air Force to become a jet engine mechanic. He spent over 20 years in active duty (including deployments to the Vietnam War) and finished up 13 years in a civil service role doing the same thing at McClellan AFB here in Sacramento before retiring. He’s owned this home since 1965, although some of those years were spent as an absentee homeowner while stationed overseas. Many of the items in the home were brought here from Japan, Okinawa, and the Philippines.
This home offers treasures including but not limited to vintage toys, carvings, ceramics, lamps, platters and Imari plates, dolls in and our of cases, figurines, antiques and collectibles, tools, fishing gear, jewelry and more.
There are a pair of very rare reticulated porcelain cut-out matching Japanese lamps with original artwork that are unbelievably beautiful as well as lots of original hand painted plates and vases, dolls and figurines that will be sold.

I should note this second sale on Thursday, is the father in law of my dear friend Cheryl whom I don’t see enough but having this sale for her family enables me to get a hug from both she and her dear father Don.
Thanks once more for your patronage and also the read.
