Bento

A bento is a homemade boxed lunch popular in Japan.  Bento boxes can be found online that carry hot and cold lunches.  There are 2 elaborate styles of bento. Kyaraben or “character” bento where foods are decorated to resemble characters from cartoons, anime, or comic books.  The second is Oekakiben or “picture” bento where foods are decorated and arranged to resemble people, places and/or landscape.

The following is from Wikipedia:
“Bento” originates from the Southern Song Dynasty slang (pinyin: biàndāng), meaning "convenient" or "convenience."  The origin of bento can be traced back to the late Kamakura Period (1185 to 1333), when cooked and dried rice called hoshi-ii (糒 or 干し飯, literally "dried meal") was developed. Hoshi-ii can be eaten as is or boiled with water to make cooked rice, and is stored in a small bag. In the Azuchi-Momoyama Period (1568 to 1600), wooden lacquered boxes like today's were produced and bento would be eaten during a hanami or a tea party.
