[Review] My happiness leveled up when I began living with an octopus wiener pillow!
Japanese illustrator and Twitter user カタツモリ Katatsumori (@katatumori) is a mother of two.
When her eldest daughter went on a school trip, the school instructed her to bring her lunch in a disposable container.
Katatsumori complied, but she also decided to go to the trouble of decorating the disposable containers in a cute way to make her daughter happy.
Here's what it looked like!

My eldest daughter's school trip called for a bento in a disposable container, so once again, I indulged myself!
This time, I made a fictitious bento bought in the world of Splatoon, my eldest daughter's favorite game LOL. I played around with the outside (of the container) as much as I could."
The bento lunch containers created by Katatsumori are perfectly aligned with the world of Splatoon
For those who are curious, this is what Katatsumori's original labels say:
Even the packaging on the rice balls is original. The product name is: "Mom's hand-made salmon rice ball" and the ingredients are: "rice from grandparents' home, salmon flakes from the jar you couldn't open last time, nori seaweed bought at Lopia [a real-world supermarket chain], mother's love (?) and salt."
Fans of the game commented, "I would be so happy if my mother had made me a lunch box like this! I wouldn't be able to throw it away when I was done with it."
The second sticker on the outer bag had a message for her daughter on it: "Have fun on your school trip! I'm looking forward to hearing all about it!"
Katatsumori even put an original product label sticker on the back of the lunch box!

Even the recycle logo, which usually displays the katakana プラ pura, short for プラチック purasuchikku, meaning "plastic," is replaced with イカ ika, meaning "squid" and little squid heads for the arrow tips.
It would indeed be a shame to throw away a lunch box container so full of playful details and a mother's love, even if it is a disposable container.
Who knows what fun bento box her daughter will be receiving next?
