Lunch-box

Making of "Kyara-ben" is in fashion among mothers with kindergardenage childlen .

"Kyara-ben" means making lunch-box with characters from cartoons.

This is "Makkuro-kurosuke -lunch box".

"Makkuro-kurosuke" is one of the characters from a cartoon called "My Neighbor Totoro".

These rice balls shaped like "Makkuro-kurosuke".

Stuffing is pickeled plum and they are wrapped with nori(labor).

I did practice making the eyes of "Makuro-kurosuke".

Their eyes are made from nori on thin slice of fish-paste.

Unfortunately ,one of the eyes fell off when my daughter opened the lunch-box.

Oh,well.....



幼稚園ママの間で、『キャラ弁』作りが流行っています。
『キャラ弁』は、アニメのキャラクターに似せてお弁当を作ることです。
これは『まっくろくろすけ弁当』です。
『まっくろくろすけ』は『となりのトトロ』のキャラクターのひとつです。
このおにぎりは『まっくろくろすけ』に似せて作りました。
おにぎりの具は梅干で、海苔で巻いています。
私はまっくろくろすけの目を作る練習をしました。
目は、薄く切った蒲鉾の上に海苔をのせて作っています。
残念なことに、娘がお弁当のフタを開けた時には、目がひとつ落ちていたそうです。

残念、、、。


***********
ようちえんままのあいだで、『きゃらべん』づくりがはやっています。
『きゃらべん』はあにめのきゃらくたーににせておべんとうをつくることです。
これは『まっくろくろすけべんとう』です。
『まっくろくろすけ』は『となりのととろ』のきゃらくたーのひとつです。
このおにぎりは『まっくろくろすけ』ににせてつくりました。
おにぎりのぐは、うめぼしで、のりでまいています。
わたしはまっくろくろすけのめをつくるれんしゅうをしました。
めは、うすくきったかまぼこのうえにのりをのせてつくっています。
ざんねんなことに、むすめがおべんとうのふたをあけたときにはめがひとつおちていたそうです。

ざんねん、、、、

これ、すごくアイデア作品ですね!すごいです。

キャラ弁ですか~。日本を離れて数年なのですが、いつも日本の新しいモノ・事を聞いてはへぇ~と浦島太郎気味です・・・。

他にどんなキャラ弁があるんですか。

wow, it is soooo cute. Now I really begin admiring the kids in Japan. How come they get all the cute stuff around them. (> <)??? I can't remember any cute meal that I ate when I was a kid.

However, a couple of months ago, I saw someone showing a "Hello Kitty" lunch box on the web, it was killing me because I really want to have one but can't get one. T-T T-T

I watched Totoro when I was a child, my brother liked it very much. He used to watch it often (almost every day) during the summer. In the English version of Totoro they called the makkuro-kurosuke "dust bunnies," and I remember the scene where they all laughed and the makkuro-kurosuke left the house. Thank you for posting on my blog, have a nice day.
子どもの時、私のおとうとはよく「ととろ」を見ました。私は「ととろ」がすきです。

えぇ、、本当に。母にとってはなかなか困った流行り物で、、。

私はまだまだ初心者ですが、アップできるような代物は
(Monday, June 05, 2006)のカレーパンマン弁当ぐらいで、、、

達人はキャラクターである限りありとあらゆるものをお弁当にしてしまうんです、、。
困ったもんです(笑)

If you said meant just a Hello kitty lunch box ,you can get many various shapes of "Hello Kitty" Lunch boxs easily.
I added pictures of my daughter's Lunch boxes and other utencils.
They're very small,so its very difficult for me to pack them.

Thank you for checking out my blog.
My daughter used to watch Totoro everyday,too when she was 4 years old.
I think she probably learned all the lines of Totoro.
"Dust Bunnies" sound strange.
Someday,I hope I can watch Totoro in English.

Regarding the scene where they all lughted and the makkuro-kurosuke left the house, my daughter wailed with horror when she watched the scene first time.
It was funny for me.
Now,she is ok,she grew out of it.

Please keep on coming back.

Michisan, thank you very much for introducing that website to me. You were right that I meant the "Hello Kitty" rice ball shape.

However, you are killing me right now, becasue they are sooooo cute.
(T-T) I can't image how they made it. Japanese moms are so good at making cute meals!

Maybe I will try to make it. Michisan, just please don't laugh out loud if you see the pictures one day. (^_~)
