The Makunouchi Bento, or traditional Japanese lunchbox, is a highly lacquered wooden box divided into quadrants, each of which contains different delicacies. It is also one of the most familiar images of Japan's domestic environment. Reading the lunchbox as both an object and a metaphor, Ekuan offers a key to understanding Japanese aesthetics, design, and culture. 65 color illustrations.Kenji Ekuan reveals that a deeper reading for the traditional Japanese lunchbox: seeing the lunchbox as nothing less that a key to an understanding of Japanese civilization, the spirit of form, and the aesthetic ideal in which the many are reduced to one.
