“ While preparing attractive bento box lunches is an honorable and inventive craft, the traveling lunch box is not unique to Japan.
Take a look at the history of the lunch pail and the lunchbox in America, with an efficient Thermos bottle tucked in the lid. By the middle of the 20th century, children’s versions were decorated with the likes of Mickey Mouse and Hopalong Cassidy.

“ You can feel the necessity of turning less into more in any supermarket in Tokyo. There you learn that a single stalk of celery can cost you a dollar. Or you eye a nice slab of beef that costs more than a Prada leather wallet. You quickly realize that a design problem emerges: namely, how to cook with fewer resources to create the “illusion” of more.

a. it’s a big stalk of celery, thank you very much, and it’s all i ever needed at a time

b. what grocery store are you in? i didn’t buy much beef in tokyo, but i shopped enough that i know that you don’t know what you’re talking about and are (possibly) in some ginza department store, or that you just bought a knock-off prada wallet… because beef doesn’t cost that much in “any supermarket in Tokyo,” period.
