He is a member of the Japan Origami Academic Society (JOAS) and Japan Origami Association. He has taught origami in internationally and has published many books and articles on the subject. In addition to Viva! Origami and other Japanese-language books, Maekawa is the author of several books on origami that have been translated into English, including Genuine Origami: 43 Mathematically-Based Models, From Simple to Complex. Maekawa lives in Japan.

"Jun Maekawa masterfully delves into the delightful complexity of geometric origami--its math, beauty, terminology and intellectual history--as comfortably as if he were sitting with you, chatting over a cup of coffee. This is a delightful and inspiring book." -- Michael LaFosse & Richard Alexander, Origamido Studio
