I have been feeling there is a difference between American lunch boxes and Japanese ones, which shows distinctive character of each nationality.

US lunch box is very simple and often contains only one menu.  I think lots of students here go to cafeteria to have lunch, but not a quite few people bring lunch for each purpose.  Some would like to just save money, others have to bring it because they are vegetarians.  But in any case, US lunch boxes or bags do not include as many menu as Japanese ones have.  I have seen there only contains some piece of pizza, or pasta without any vegetables in a transparent plastic box that has no decoration.  In other case, a female students only had a big plastic bowl of salad for her lunch.  It looked like healthy, but was that enough lunch for her?  I think those lunch boxes are very easy to prepare so I think it is very reasonable, but it does not look like interesting.

On the contrary, Japanese lunch box has lots of small helping menus in colored box.  Further, decorated lunch box has been popular in Japan recently especially among young women.  It usually takes more time to cook in busy morning, but it seems that they enjoy not only having lunch but also the process to cook it.  Colorful dishes usually means they contain many kinds of nutrition that is good for our health.  In addition, lunch box itself has much more color and design valuation in Japan too.  I love that kind of elaborated lunch box.  Japanese people traditionally like paying attention to and enjoy small parts in daily life.  This might be one of the example for that minds.
