To Visitors
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy looking around

I'm sorry but I do not take requests or commissions.
Please do not copy or upload my work on DA or elsewhere without my permission.
Info on permission and etc.=>[link]If you've seen my work elsewhere, it is most likely be reposted without my permission! Kyara-ben features
I make Japanese style bento lunch for myself and my hubby twice a week. For me it is just a good way to manage ingredients in the fridge and to eat well economically. The content of our bento is based more on practicality and flavors, with some attention to detail. I don't spend time to embellish it to the artistic level.
Anyway, "bento" has become international fad now, (not in a huge scale, but still) and I see some on DA as well. So I thought I'd feature them.

For a reference, here is a great collection of store-bought Japanese bento images found on flicker.
The ones you can purchese at train stations are called "ekiben". (eki=staion, ben=short for bento)
[link]I tried to pick the ones that have "character" theme. These kind of designed bento are commonly called "chara-ben" or "kyara-ben". The word is a mix of "character" and "bento" pronounced with Japanese accent.
Here are some I found on DA.
And below is a collection of Japanese blogs that shows amazing "kyara-ben" artistry.

Check out the details! When you are at their page, scroll down to view all the mages.
[link] (scroll down all the way to see "Death Note" characters. I was impressed with Ryuk and Misa.

)
[link] (Naruto and others. Scroll down to see other thumb pictures)
[link] (Naruto. Scroll down to see all the images. Colors and details in these are

! )
[link] (cute and colorful animal characters.)
[link] (Bleach characters etc. Nice photos and the rest of bento box content looks great too)
People use all sort of ingredients, but usually using rice as a ground like "canvas". The most intricate, black and white manga-like depictions seen on the Japaense sites above are often done with nori (sheets of dry sea weed) carefully cut and pressed onto a sheet of sliced cheese, or thinly cooked egg white, or crepe, (or sandwich meat for skin tones) laying on top of rice. Oh, slab of kamaboko is also used for detailed works. (It's a sort of fish cake made with white fish meats, except the meat is finely ground and sieved before steamed so that it is very dense and smooth. It has hard boiled egg like texture) These detailed ones can take a lot of time. (People say 30 min to 1hour sometimes just to do the image. Some use copied image as a base which saves time, but still that does not include the rest of cooking)
Others use crepe with food coloring to get unusual anime colors, cut out in the shape, and use nori as black outlines.
Hope you enjoy the features!

"Don't Dream It. Be It"
I've noted you regarding the project.
So the search is back to square one, but I don't mind the delay as long as we find something we will be happy with. Although, we may need to move twice because of that...which will be a major pain.
Anyway, I look forward hearing from you about the project. I have not done much since the last time we discussed about it.

Send this rose to everyone you care about!!
Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!
You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!
If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them!
If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends
If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself! That's cheating!)
If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good friend.
If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly loved as a friend!!
