BENTO BENTO!

Here's its history!
Bento are packed lunches...if traced it can be as far back as the fifth centry in Japn.
During the Kamakura Period (1185 to 1333), hoshi-ii was developed. Hoshi-ii consisted of cooked and dried rice carried in a small bag. During the Azuchi-Momoyama Period (1568 to 1600), wooden lacquered bento boxes were produced. During the Edo Period (1603-1868), bento became more refined and widespread. Japanese packed lavish assortments of food into fancy, tiered, lacquer boxes to take on outdoor excursions or to the theater. There are Koshibento ("waist bento"), Makunouchi bento ("between-scene bento"). From this period onwards, bento began to evolve into a sophisticated art form. Special occasion bento are used in celebrations in the home, at Buddhist memorial services, for entertaining guests, and for tea ceremonies. In the Meiji Period (1868-1912), Japan's railway system was born, and the first ekiben ("station bento") were sold.
