Japanese Food Art

Basically, I saw this scan from an anime magazine and was thoroughly amused + impressed by it, and it also reminded me of other pictures I've seen of Japanese creativity expressed within the confines of their bentou...

Ever tried making any of these? Seen any other instances of Japanese food art? Post in this thread :nuts

I've actually tried to make sushi art before, but it was mega fail. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I have no pictures with which to tell the tale :sweat

Those look so delicious!! :zomg Although they would be a waste to eat since they're done so well. *conflicted*

The people who made the bentou are all geniuses!

Sharing my favorite bento/food art here :zomg :
