MAKI Gallery was first established in Tokyo in 2003 with the aim of promoting works by seminal avant-garde Japanese artists of the 1950s-60s, later shifting its focus to working with emerging contemporary artists. After opening a location in the bustling, high-end shopping district of Omotesando in 2014, the gallery opened an expansive, museum-caliber space in the growing arts hub of Tennoz in 2020. Across these two outposts, MAKI Gallery presents a broad range of works by internationally active artists, including Mungo Thomson, Miya Ando, Susumu Kamijo, and Marius Bercea, while also introducing younger Japanese artists, such as Anne Kagioka Rigoulet, Keisuke Tada, and Takuro Tamura, to a global audience. The gallery has also participated in various international art fairs such as Frieze New York, Frieze Seoul, The Armory Show, Asia NOW, Art Collaboration Kyoto, and West Bund Art & Design.
