John Montroll – probably the most prolific Western artist and author of over 40 books on origami; Jeannine Mosley – best known for her origami models created from business cards, [7] including the Menger Sponge. [1] She has developed mathematical techniques for designing and analyzing curved origami models. [7]
Geometric Origami is a book on the mathematics of paper folding, focusing on the ability to simulate and extend classical straightedge and compass constructions using origami. It was written by Austrian mathematician Robert Geretschläger [ de ] and published by Arbelos Publishing (Shipley, UK) in 2008.
Hiden senbazuru orikata (ja:秘傳千羽鶴折形), published in 1797, is the oldest known technical book on origami for play. The book contains 49 origami pieces created by a Buddhist monk named Gidō in Ise Province, whose works were named and accompanied by kyōka (狂歌, comic tanka) by author Akisato Ritō (秋里籬島).

Reviewer Rachel Thomas recommends it to origami folders, to demonstrate to them the beauty of geometric forms, and to mathematicians, to show these forms in a new light and demonstrate the creativity of origami design. [2] The book can also be used as a source for mathematical school projects, and to provide hands-on experience with geometry ...
Vol. 3 of the same work is devoted to another Kasahara interest: reverse engineering and diagramming classic Japanese origami models pictured in early works, such as zenbazuru (thousand origami cranes from the Hiden Senbazuru Orikata of 1797, one of the earliest known origami books), the origami art of folding multiple connected cranes out of a ...
