[Autumn Leaf Viewing with Bento]

The word "gari" in "momiji-gari (autumn leaf viewing)" comes from the word "kari (hunting)", which was widely used to describe the action of "going into the fields and mountains to search for the blessings of the season." Just as the word is used in words such as "shiohi-gari (shell clamming)" and "kinoko-gari (mushroom picking)," "autumn leaf viewing" is another example. In the Utsuho Monogatari (Tales of Utsuho), written in the Heian period, the term "sakura-gari (cherry blossom hunting)" appears. It represents the aristocracy going to the mountains to appreciate the cherry blossoms that live there.

Recently, more and more people are spending their vacations relaxing in nature-rich places to relieve the stress of staying at home during the corona pandemic. How about using Kurikyu's Magewappa Lunch Box or Matsuya Shikkiten's Shirakinuri Lunch Box as a companion when enjoying outdoor activities such as autumn leaf viewing? The taste of autumn along with the beauty of the nature will be very special.
