Hanami (cherry blossom viewing)

 Hanami party is having a party under cherry trees.

people love cherry blossoms but of course love eating and drinking as well ;p

so I made tiny tiny hanami bento box ( ´∀`)

In Japanese say Hana yori Dango (enjoying eating and drinking rather than viewing blooms)

3 tier lunch box with tiny food and sweets
nothing glued all hand sewn!! d(^ｰ'*)
