i’m a bit curious as to what it’s actually made of, but still: want want want! (is there a toad one? and isn’t it sad that a girl freaks out about a mario bento box?:D)

The Simpson one just looks scary like a “head in a box staring back at you”.

Bento boxes are fun but like ted says who has time to prepare them. I usually forgo cutting and molding my food into cute shapes and just throw it all in the box. I think the exception to this rule is a picnic type date, then it is only to make an impression

One of my grandsons insisted that food could not be beautiful, so I took him to a Japanese bakery. The Japanese do amazing things with food, many of them very beautiful.

I’m a very big video game nerd and a simposons fan and I exploded when I saw these.
Must have!
Barbwire, yeah the Japanese bakery I once lived around was amazing. They had the best melon bread.

The Japanese arm of Cartoon Network did something similar — they have obento (as well as recipes/instructions if you can read them!) of a bunch of their popular cartoons :

Could I ask the question, who has ever said Japanese people aren’t creative?
No really, where the f*ck did that statement come from?
How could anyone ever think that the Japanese are not creative?
I mean they’re human beings so are innately creative, and they are from a culture that is even by humanities high standards , very creative.
Genuinely strange thing to say, even couched in the “Who says…” format.
Has anyone said they weren’t?
Is there some strain of racism that I was unaware of?

@ Pol x
People have said the Japanese aren’t that creative because they often *improve* things rather than innovate. Take for instance the car industry where the only thing the Japanese have *created* was the coin collector, everything else the Japanese simply took pre-existing parts and improved upon them.It’s the nature of the Japanese culture which is often likened to an ant colony. Everyone is in a collective hierarchy operating as one big efficient machine, which benefits consistency/quality but downplays innovation.
But that doesn’t mean they’re devoid of creativity - just they’re less known for stepping out of line, thinking outside the box. The Bento box is my favorite for lunch but I must say I’ve never had such an elaborate one as found in those pics.

Seems like a little too much for day-to-day eating, but if someone wanted to make me one, I would appreciate it greatly before I wrecked it.

I’m with you, Pol x. I’ve never heard such a thing; in fact, I find Japanese culture to have some of the most creative and innovative stuff around. Some of it bizarre, sure.. but creative all the way.
