Do you know CHARABEN??
We have a culture mother (mostly mother does in Japan) makes lunch for kids when they are students specially school don't have a lunch service as other countries do.
CHARABEN is a lunch that decorated like anime characters, animals, car etc. that starts late '90 or '00, by some mothers.
Mothers have always try their kids to be healthy eater, sometimes mushing up for changes taste, shapes like carrots, green pepper.
Beginning of Charaben it was easy stuff like "octopus sausage", "rabbit apple".

But after early '00, Charaben culture spread more and some mothers start to make more artistic way like these.
Of course some working mothers say "I don't have enough time doing this!!" but still lots mothers quit working when they have babies as housewives on that time in Japan.
In these years Charaben culture a bit slow down, but still popular among kids of course!!
