My first Bento

Ordered this morning from Bento&Co.

The box is elongated, black, and elegant, with a brushstroke design on the lid. 


The kanji character on the outer lid, rendered in sparkling silver, is “bi” (毘, び), which stands for “Bishamonten” (毘沙門天), a Buddhist divinity that is described as "an armor-clad god of warfare or warriors and a punisher of evildoers” (Wikipedia).

Look mom: no javascript and no flash needed!
