From Ghostly:For Ghostly International's hundredth release (GI-100), we wanted to commemorate the occasion with something more than music, something bigger, more permanent--a humble monument to our first decade's work and a gift to our loyal fans. With that in mind, we give you Manzoku: The Ghostly Bento.
The Ghostly Bento was inspired by Japan and its tradition of quality, service, and design--values that Ghostly has always cherished. "Manzoku" is a Japanese word that roughly translates to "satisfaction." Thus, the Bento is an intimate celebration of satisfaction in multiple forms--tactile, visual, aural--packaged in a handcrafted wooden box, stained and etched with a stunning image by LA artist Dosa Kim.
The Ghostly Bento is extremely limited in quantity (only 50 boxes were made) and handmade by a team of artists, designers, and craftspeople working closely with Ghostly International. Typical Japanese bento boxes pair disparate flavors within one container, and The Ghostly Bento is no different: nestled in the box's three compartments, one finds a squid-adorned edition of Horizon Line / Ghostly By Night, our era-defining double-disc compilation; a micro-fibre Ghostly tie, featuring Dosa's design screen-printed by Cyberoptix; and a pair of wooden Ghostly chopsticks.
The result of creative collaboration, meticulous detailing, and old-fashioned hard work, Manzoku: The Ghostly Bento is a ceremonial token of satisfaction--both ours and yours.
Happiness = $100 less in your bank account.
