In the common Japanese boxed lunch, bento is a single part that can be taken out or used at home; A traditional Japanese bento box contains rice or noodles, fish or meat, and pickled and cooked vegetables. The range of containers ranges from mass production of handmade lacquerware that can be processed at will. Bento is readily available in many places in Japan, including convenience stores, bento stores, railway stations and department stores. However, Japanese housewives often spend time and energy elaborately preparing lunch boxes for their spouses, children or themselves.
The bento can be elaborately arranged in a style called "kyaraben" (word bento), which is usually decorated like a popular figure in Japanese animation (anime, comic book) or video game; another popular bento style is "oekakiben" or "picture bento", which is decorated like people, animals, buildings and monuments, or flowers.
The boxed lunch also includes similar forms in the Philippines and Asian countries, Taiwan Biantang Mandarin and "Bendong" and India (Taiwan Tifen). In addition, Hawaiian culture has adopted a localized version of the local flavor of bento, which has influenced Japan's island for more than a century.
