Obento Diary --Playful Japanese Lunch Box-- Place : Osaka Taken by : Kikumi Memo : Obento usually contains rice or riceballs, some side dishes and sometimes dessert. When making obento, not only do mothers make sure that it is nutritionally balanced, but they take great care to arrange the colors, shapes, and tastes of the ingredients in a way that will whet the child's appetite. This is a record of the obento that one mother made for her child in kindergarten.
