The size of lunchbox is important for making the Japanese style lunchbox

I have received a question from blog reader that she can't stuff well the lunch box.

I think the size of lunchbox Japanese use is different from the size of lunchbox Filipino use. 

The lunchbox of Japanese is smaller that the lunchbox of Filipino.

At the time of Bento workshop, participants brought big lunchbox that is 1.5 times to twice as large as the lunchbox that usually Lino uses.

I was surprised when I saw these lunchbox because I asked them to bring the lunchbox for children. 

A point for stuffing well the lunchbox is not to make a clearance gap. So, small size lunchbox is is just size to stuff well without a clearance gap.

When you try to make a Japanese style lunchbox and you can't stuff well, please try once to use smaller size lunchbox.

By the way, the size of lunchbox for Filipino children is as same as the lunchbox for Japanese grown man!
