Writer Arata Iyohara, a graduate of the Graduate School’s Department of Earth and Planetary Science, has been honored with the 172nd Naoki Sanjugo Award. This prestigious award is presented biannually to recognize “the best work of popular literature in any format by a new, rising, or relatively young established author.”
Iyohara-san, who earned his doctorate from the Department of Earth and Planetary Science, made his literary debut while serving as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Science, University of Toyama. His award-winning work, Ai-wo-Tsugu-Umi, comprises five short stories featuring themes as diverse as sea turtles, Hagiyaki clay, Japanese wolves, the Nagasaki atomic bomb, and a meteorite fall. These narratives explore human thoughts and connections, interweaving gentle storytelling with a natural integration of scientific elements.
In his works, science often forms the backdrop or complements the human stories, harmonizing the vast phenomena of nature across various time and space scales with human activity. Characters involved in science are portrayed with depth and warmth, making them relatable to those in our Graduate School. Such depictions highlight that science is not only a pursuit of understanding nature but also a way to place humanity within it, enriching both the mind and spirit.
As a researcher, Iyohara-san traveled around the world in search of ancient rocks, analyzing the magnetic fields recorded within them to reconstruct the history of Earth’s magnetic field. When we welcomed him as a speaker at our Homecoming Day talk event in October 2024, he shared photos from his earlier days. Many of them depicted the young Iyohara-san venturing out for field research and confronting nature. I imagine that, during those moments of engaging with nature, he cultivated an artist’s perspective to portray humanity with warmth, while maintaining a scientist’s calm and objective gaze toward his subjects.
Iyohara-san has expressed his intention to continue creating works connected to science. I wish him continued success in his endeavors and, as one of his fans, I eagerly look forward to the day when I can encounter his next creation. Congratulations!

Summary
A research group led by Associate Professor Ryuho Kataoka of the National Institute of Polar Research analyzed 179 aurora photographs taken by citizens from a wide area of Japan on May 11, 2024. As a result, they found that the aurora could be observed even in low-latitude areas such as Hyogo Prefecture because the aurora was bright at an altitude of 1,000 km, which is higher than usual. The color of the aurora seen from Japan was magenta, not red as is common in low-latitude auroras, because the blue scattered light of sunlight was visible simultaneously.
Project Researcher Yuki Nakamura, a member of the Seki Laboratory, Department of Earth and Planetary Science participated in this research result.
