Maekawa has written extensively for both the origami enthusiast and the mathematician. His books, such as Viva! Origami (in Japanese) and Genuine Origami (English translation, 2008), are distinctive because they include:
Jun Maekawa is a Japanese origami artist, mathematician, and software engineer whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of technical origami. Unlike traditional origami, which emphasizes representational form, Maekawa’s approach is characterized by rigorous geometric principles, most notably the . This paper explores Maekawa’s transition from a hobbyist to a theorem-proving artist, his key mathematical contributions, his signature design philosophy (including the "Maekawa's Devil"), and his influence on modern origami education and computational design. jun maekawa
Maekawa frequently employs precise, sometimes challenging, squash folds and reverse folds to achieve his detailed shapes. Maekawa has written extensively for both the origami
