The scientists of ‘IODP Expedition 333 : NanTroSEIZE Stage 2’ greeted the New Year of 2011 on board CHIKYU. While finishing a normal work shift even during New Year holidays , they held New Year Calligraphy event.
The calligraphy examples were ‘ 新春 (New Spring)’ and ‘ ちきゅう (CHIKYU)’. In spare moments from their busy work, they tried new year calligraphy after a long time or the first brush writing, which made them feel refreshed.
