Since the time is such that breakfast will be tomorrow, it's time to tell how creative the Japanese are about this issue. Especially when it comes to collecting breakfast for a child for school or a loved one for work. So, if in our countries a breakfast box looks like a homemade second with a salad or vegetable, in Japan it is called bento-box and looks like a small picture of food.
And collecting such bento-boxes is a whole ritual. After all, you need not only what is tasty and healthy to put, but also to be beautiful. and not just beautiful, but plot. Here sushi art with characters from cartoons and fairy tales fills such boxes, funny little animals, or even flowers bloom, waves splash and a bright, appetizing sun shines.
The Japanese are amazing people. They can see beauty where, it would seem, there is no point in looking for it. And turn this beautiful into a real masterpiece that you don't even want to eat. It seems that I would have admired a picture of a summer landscape, "painted" on rice porridge! But the closer lunch is, the stronger the two desires are fighting among themselves, and as soon as the clock indicates lunchtime, like a landscape or cartoon, it instantly disappears in the stomach of the happy owner of artistic sushi art.
By the way, the art of making such original breakfasts is called bento-art, and every loving mother and wife considers it their duty to comprehend this art, therefore every second family has its own traditional bento-boxes.
