Shōkadō bento; square bento box with cross-shaped dividers
A traditional style of bento served in a square or rectangular box with a cross-shaped partition creating four compartments. Named after the Shōkadō temple.
I ordered a Shōkadō bento at the traditional Japanese restaurant.
The Shōkadō bento box is divided into four sections by a cross-shaped partition.
Named after the Shōkadō temple (松花堂) in Kyoto, associated with the monk and tea master Shōkadō Shōjō. The box design is said to have been inspired by a paint box he used.
