Founded in 2005 in Nagoya as gallery feel art zero, the gallery was renamed Gallery NAO MASAKI in 2018. From the beginning, it has aimed to create a space where visitors can engage with artworks in a state of "zero"—free from preconceived notions or rational judgment—encouraging direct, intuitive encounters.The gallery organizes curated exhibitions across a wide range of genres, from ceramics, metalwork, and calligraphy to contemporary art, with a particular focus on living artists. Emphasis is placed on the unique sensibilities that emerge from each artist’s way of life and personal values.Currently, the gallery engages in curatorial projects both domestically and internationally, across diverse locations. As of June 2025, it has realized over 160 exhibitions.
