Like prominent American origami artist and scientist Robert J. Lang, Jun Maekawa approaches origami from the perspective of mathematics. In Genuine Origami , Maekawa takes readers, step-by-step, through the fundamentals of his method, beginning with the basics and guiding them through simple figures (a mouse, an elephant, Santa Claus) all the way up to such highly sophisticated models as his signature creations, the devil and the peacock.
