When lunch becomes art

Obento from Japan are a creative take on packed lunch. Each obento is carefully handcrafted to create a feast that is both appealing to the eyes as it is to the palate. You'll never look at your "baon" the same way. Notice how each seems to have been painstakingly created. According to an internet source, an obento is prepared for about an hour to look like the ones below, that's about all the time I have to prepare for work.
