I recently splurged and bought my very own sakura bento! I just can't wait for it to come. Oh and in case you are not crazy in Japanese things, I shall explain exactly what a bento is and why you must have one! A bento is for all practical purposes a lunch box (extremely cool!) which also seems to have become an art (seriously search bento and you will find this crazy but amazing bento meals!) Not only that but it so very pretty and did I mention historical? Dating back at least to the Meiji era (roughly 1850's our time). Sakura is Japanese for cherry blossom. Just another anecdote in the life of an insane Japaneses addict!
