Now I've heard of edible undies .... but an edible bikini ?
What part do you eat first ?

I have always advocated making the food look nice for kids (especially for already picky eaters)...but these are awesome works of art. Not necessarily the edible undies...is that actually a food...??? (like with nutritional value?)!

very nice indeed. I like the third one. From sausage to lotus root. Hope it tasted as good as it looked!

You have time to do anything you want. It's all about priorities...
Anyway, I bet that if you had more time (and kids!) you'd probably be doing something other than spending two hours a day preparing intricate lunches for your kids. I know I would! :-)

I'm going out on a limb here ... but I'm betting most of the fancy looking stuff was bought in a store and just added to the lunch.

I suspect the "fancy things" are not store bought. But, at the same time, I doubt the average Japanese parent spends that much time prepping kids lunches. Instead, i'm wondering if the above were entered into a contest or something? Googling "bento box competition" returns a bunch of sites and blogs on this topic, e.g.:
justbento.com
and, here are some that are less cute in focus:

i'd bet some of these bento box designers would make kick-ass designers (web, print ... whatever). So, if i had kids, i might encourage them to play w/ their food more. :)
