Japan has an overabundance of cute things. Their cartoons are cute, their clothing is cute, even their tissues are cute. And this excess of cute-ness has gone so far as to spill over into their bento box lunches. I had an extremely difficult time choosing which bento boxes to feature in this post because all of the ones that I found were simply amazing examples of bento art – my lunch never looks this cool. So, take a look:
From techy and cool…
To classic cartoons…
To animals…
To recent movies and coffee shops…
Even historical characters and cleaning products can’t escape!
Alright, alright, cuteness and creativity overload. I’ll leave you with this – Anna the Red is a bento box master; to see her gallery of adorable food, bento and beyond, go to her gallery. And if it all just looks too beautiful to be eaten or you want your own bento, but don’t think you have the design skills, check out the bento box USB or laptop lunch kits (bento for the western world)!
