Japanese bento boxes

My housemate, Alex, got the cutest thing I've ever seen in the mail today...


She also got her boyfriend, Timothy, a "men's" bento box:


They come with different compartments for rice and other food, as well as chopsticks. Naturally, I investigated the matter further on Ebay, where she bought hers. I don't need one right now, but I'm secretly hoping I'll need one in grad school. Unfortunately, they're rather expensive and small. I doubt most of them would hold enough food to fill me!


Seriously, is this not the cutest lunch box you've ever seen? It's also a lot bigger than the ones that follow...


"Yume Usagi"


"Akae"
