Discover the world of bento boxes with OH!Bento, a free exhibition held at the Japan Foundation Gallery.
Featuring the works of three Japanese artists, this exhibition celebrates a universally loved aspect of Japan's rich food culture. OH!Bento seeks to unveil the entire bento experience, from the careful preparation of this portable packed lunchbox to its completion and eventual consumption. Through this process, bento has the power to strengthen human relationships, like a gift that contains a story connecting the preparer and the eater.
Featuring a selection of photographs, illustrations and video works, this exhibition encourages viewers to think outside the box when it comes to bento, and consider how feelings of affection make this seemingly everyday item something to be cherished.
Included in the exhibition are works by photographer Satoru Abe, artist Toru Koyamada and designer Hiraku Ogura, along with a variety of bento boxes provided by Katachiware on display. The exhibition also includes an interactive workspace where visitors will have the chance to design their very own bento box and display them within the gallery.
OH!Bento will be held at The Japan Foundation Gallery from March 17 to July 29, 2023.
