Just Bento, run by Maki, has long been one of my favorite sites on the Internet, mainly because of the way it's able to reflect on and display a particular culture through food, specifically through bento boxes. It is also one of the best examples I've seen of how to incorporate Eastern ideas about food into Western culture. Finally, it has really good recipes, which is always a plus.
Maki's latest entry is one of the best posts I've seen on the site; it shows how bento boxes change in a typical Japanese person's life as they grow up, become adults and eventually retire. It's educational, well-written, has great pictures of bento, and really paints a neat picture of life in Japan. Terrific stuff.
