bento lunch 030304 by Mosaica.
It's Girl's Day! And it's also Square Root Day, so this bento celebrates both :-) Four hamaguri-zushi, two temari zushi (under the star-fruit strawberries), cucumber sticks clasping an umeboshi, a passionfruit bowl filled with passionfruit, steamed asparagus, and a little stack of star-fruit with a radish (root) cut as square as I could manage. Happy day to all my favorite girls! And square roots!

Happy girls and square root day Mosaica! (What is square root day - must google later). This bento really is a work of art! Delicate and beautiful. The asparagus look like the stems of the star fruit strawberry flowers.

Yes, Girl's Day, my fav. All I had time for yesterday was eating Hina-matsuri onigiri from 7-11 (cry....)

Did you know that March 3 (3-3) is also "Mimi no hi" in Japan?
'MI-tsu' means '3' in Japanese, so 'mi-mi.'
Mimi means 'ears' - so March 3 also celebrates the day of ears. ..
Glad to know, eh?

Thank you very much, friends!

Blorgie --you're a favorite grrl, and I'm so inspired by your beautiful lunches. Thank you!

Skamegu --I didn't know about Mimi no hi! I had just learned about Momo no sekku, so it seems that March 3rd is a very festival-filled day. I love the idea of celebrating ears!
