The Spirit of Bento

25.90

The Spirit of Bento lives in your lunch- or bento box where he spends all day guarding your food and reminding you how amazing and magical food actually is.

He wears an umeboshi (Japanese, pickled plum) hat and is hand-painted and made of porcelain.

Put him in your own - or someone else's - lunchbox and experience how your food tastes even better because the spirit sits in it.

Caution: he does occasionally fart inside the lunchbox which is very healthy and doesn't smell at all, but does make little sounds sometimes. Sorry about that.

Size approx 25 mm x 3 mm x 2 mm

The Spirit of Bento was originally created by Marije Vogelzang for the Intangible Bento installation she made for Tokyo Metropolitan Art museum.
