Lunch in a Box

23/8/2013

 
PictureMy first anime lunch in too many years
Once upon a time when my daughter was much younger than she is today, she discovered a love of all things Japanese, especially in the art and animation in the form of anime and manga (Japanese comic book/graphic novel).

Being a supportive parent and animation lover myself I joined her in watching many series and I too grew to love this art form.  I was especially enchanted by the beautiful depiction of the lunches many 
high school anime characters brought to school.  I set out to make bentos (japanese lunchboxes) for us to enjoy while watching anime.


This bento making obsession went on for many years and in that time I amassed a plethoria of tools 
to enhance the cuteness factor of the food, joined several online communities dedicated to sharing pictures 
of their bentos and shared a bento making panel at an anime convention.  Then I began working a full time
job and had little energy left for making cute lunches.  I stopped shortly after that and didn't think about them 
any more at all.

Until this week.  

As I sorted through boxes in the garage looking for something else, I rediscovered all the tools, japanese 
language  bento cook books and plans I drew of planned lunches.  I remembered how much I loved using 
food as a creative medium to help my family have healthy, beautifully presented lunches.  

Now I've decided to start again.  

You may find some pictures of lunches showing up on Instagram (dteapriestess if you'd like to follow along)
But I'm choosing to take it slow and see how it goes.  If it still ignites me. I'll continue.

I remember you doing this! I've come across pics myself and think they are so cute. Too bad Ian will only eat 4 things. Lol. I can't wait to see your pictures.
