Bento Box from High School

Apologies for the crummy image. This is my bento box from high school in 1994. It's a one layered lunch box, with clips on the side and indent in the inner lid to hold a spoon or chopsticks. Actually I think my mother never used it - she just placed the whole thing in a small bag with the cutlery. 

I was always the envy of the boys club at school. My mother woke up early to prepare delicious lunches for my brother and I. The bento box routine is such an ingrained daily event in Japanese culture, and little that I know that I would be selling bento boxes one day! 

My name is Ken. I am Japanese, I love Japan, and I somehow wanted to turn that into something I loved to do for a living. 

Enter Majime Life. Lunch boxes are nothing new and very popular in Australia, especially for kids. Grown ups too would bring their own lunch to work for health reasons or to save money. I thought back to my high school days in Japan and my bento box experiences. Japan has so many great looking yet functional boxes, and I couldn't easily find similar looking ones here in Australia. And so began my journey of finding and introducing unique, beautiful and great quality bento boxes from Japan that can elevate one's meal time experience. I really hope you like them. 

Majime means ‘serious’ or ‘in earnest’ in Japanese, and Majime Life was conceived on a personal realization that I needed to break out of the norm to find what I was really 'earnest' about in life. Everyone has their own 'Majime Life' and I hope I can share mine with you. 

With thanks, 
Ken
