Eastern Dada Orbit is composed of two distinct parts and describes two largely unexplored aspects of Dada. The first, Dada in Central and Eastern Europe (including the former Soviet Union), edited by Gerald Janecek, was a previously closed field that scholars have since discovered reveals the significant influence of Dada on the region. The second part of this volume, Tada=Dada (Devotedly Dada) for the Stage: The Japanese Dada Movement 1920-1925, focuses upon the equally under researched area of Dada in Japan. Toshiharu Omuka traces the particular place of Dada within the dynamic development of Japanese modernism.
