Face Food: The Visual Creativity of Japanese Bento Boxes: The Visual Creativity of Japanese Bento Boxes, édition en langue anglaise - Hardcover

All across Japan, parents come up with unique ways to bring attention to their childrens lunch boxes. And what better way to make children eat than to turn their midday meals into a cartoon? With Face Food, the artistic response team known as DETACH documents the very real phenomenon of crafting food into visually creative and appealing forms, such as Pikachu, Daraemon and Cindarella, bringing health, heart and imagination to the bento box. How-to guides and articles by designers and chefs accompany photographs, all of which illuminate the dynamic reasons behind this wholly Japanese pursuit.
