What is Bento Box Art?
According to Squidoo.com, Bento is an art form for packing lunches in the Japanese culture. The Japanese have taken the act of packing a lunch or meal to a whole different level.
Because Bento Boxes come in many different styles: they contain compartments that can either be the same or different sizes AND the boxes themselves come in various materials / themes and shapes, there is a lot that can be created and crafted.
So interesting!
All I got as a child was a brown bagged lunch (with an occasional smiley face drawn on the outside).




It’s close to lunch time… and I’m suddenly in the mood for Japanese Food! These Bento Food Art Creations are amazing.
As an artist, I always try to design a plate with flows and height, and textures and colors … It all has to make sense.” - Robert’s Executive Chef, Brady Duhame
