Busy Lawyer Creates The Prettiest Bento Lunchboxes That Put Our Tuna Sarnies To Shame

Prettiest Bento Lunchboxes Made By Busy Lawyer Put Our Tuna Sarnies To Shame

You may write these off as the beautiful lunchboxes of a food artist who has waaay too much time on her hands, but these gorgeous bento boxes were actually created by a busy lawyer who wanted to inject a bit of peace and creativity into her day.

Attorney Megan Noh, who published them under the name Gamene, has now left law to work at an auction house which involves a lot of travel, so sadly she doesn't make these anymore.

In an email to HuffPost UK Lifestyle, she writes: "I started doing bento, just as the bio on my website says, to ensure that at least 5 minutes of my day was spent in a relaxing, delicious and aesthetically pleasing fashion. It was also a creative outlet for me.

"Preparing and photographing an individual bento typically took me between 45 minutes and 2 hours. I'm not suggesting that that's a reasonable amount of time for most people to spend preparing lunch -- particularly busy moms preparing kids' lunches. However because I was, especially towards the end of my bento career, an extreme perfectionist, and because this was my art form, I spent a lot of time getting each shot just right."
