Makoto once told Eye Magazine ‘I don’t trust words. You can say anything with words. I prefer a visual means of communication because it allows the message to be more direct.’
He has since proceeded to become an artist, creating portraits of classic filmmakers and iconic images from their films. He has held solo exhibitions at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan, a 2012 exhibition at the Paul Kasmin Gallery in the United States, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in England, the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
His numerous awards include winning the Gold Prize twice at the International Poster Biennale in Warsaw, twice winning the Best of Best in the Germany Red Dot Awards, the Grand Prize at the France International Poster Awards, and many more.
Makoto Saito has been a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) since 1994.
