The great Russian poet Mayakovsky was an early Futurist, and the young Yasunari Kawabata was also influenced by Futurism. However, for a considerable period of time, opinions on Futurism were divided. Reading the book Futurism will greatly benefit us in understanding this exceptionally complex movement comprehensively and objectively, evaluating its merits and demerits.
