I only wish I had discovered the bento world while my daughters were young enough to enjoy them. I do enjoy carrying my lunch to work with me. I am thankful for this beautiful tradition the Japanese have gifted us with.

Your explanation(expose?) of the social contexts at play in the worlds of mothers and their young kids was really interesting.
