Quite a few of my friends, who are young mothers, are absolutely crazy about Bento, the cute Japanese lunch boxes. Packing Bentos is an art form called Bento Art and if you search the web for Bento art images, you surely would be blown away by their creativity.

I really do not have time for Bento or Bento Art but then I don’t have children. Even though I am busy, I still have time to appreciate Bento and Bento art from the blogs of friends who indulge in this popular Japanese art form.

If you are looking for Bento recipes, no matter if you are new to Bento art or an old hand already, Makiko Itoh runs this blog called Just Bento where you will be able to find awesome free Bento recipes. Makiko is Japanese, obviously, so you cannot get more authentic Japanese Bento recipes than these!
