Weird (and cute) Bento Boxes

Bento is a meal in which a single portion is packaged. This is usually bought at a convenience shop, but it seems that the lunch prepared by a housewife for her husband to take with him is also qualifies.

Rootcoffee took the time to gather some really interesting/cute Bento box designs up for one post. Some examples:

Bento 01

Bento 02

Bento 03

Bento 04

Neat. But also definitely wacky to a “Western” mind, whose idea of a home-packaged meal is probably a sandwhich.
