Japanese bento boxes are said to have their roots back in the country’s feudal era, when the warlord Oda Nobunaga took to feeding his troops boxed meals as a matter of convenience. Nowadays, far from being filled with utilitarian army fare, bento boxes are now a minor decorative art! Everyone from office workers to school kids is in on it, carrying off their carefully-arranged boxes of traditional Japanese cuisine to see them through another busy day.
