First Flight of The Airship Super Dry by Kazuo Kitai is a black-and-white photograph capturing a serene yet striking moment in history. The image showcases an Asahi Super Dry airship soaring above an open field, where a small group of spectators—adults and a child—stand in awe, gazing at the dirigible. The vast, open landscape and expansive sky create a sense of quiet anticipation, emphasizing the contrast between human curiosity and the grandeur of technological progress. Kitai’s signature documentary style and careful composition lend the photograph a nostalgic and contemplative quality, preserving a fleeting moment of wonder and modernity.
