Thomas Bertrand, from France, is the proprietor of a bento box shop in Kyoto. Bertrand's shop stocks hundreds of designs, in both traditional and modern styles. He ships products to customers around the world and also runs bento photo competitions online. This time, in a Japanophiles profile, Bertrand tells us why he finds bento boxes so appealing and shows us how he's bringing this part of Japanese food culture to a global audience.
