A silent journey connects Bologna to Yamanaka Onsen.

Two distant worlds, yet spiritually aligned: one shaped by the millenary wisdom of its stones and towers; the other the custodian of an ancient art founded on patient hands and the slow passage of time.

Yamanaka Onsen, a secluded enclave in Ishikawa Prefecture, is a place where the quiet of hot springs and forest paths frames centuries-old traditions of wood carving and precious urushi lacquering — a meticulous and delicate ritual passed down through generations.

From the symbolic dialogue between Bologna and Yamanaka Onsen emerges LA DOTTA Yamanaka Onsen, a fountain pen conceived as a bridge between cultures, languages, and traditions. Clad in refined Tamenuri urushi lacquer in a warm wood-brown tone, the surface reveals depth and subtle transparencies, reminiscent of a forest at sunset, shifting in light with every movement. Each lacquer layer rests, breathes, and matures — a gesture patiently repeated until matter itself seems to retain the essence of time.

Within the LA DOTTA collection, dedicated to Bologna and its inexhaustible cultural vocation, this special edition carries the spirit of the East while intertwining it with the memory of the West.

It stands as a tribute to writing as a journey — a flowing trace that connects distant lands and narrates new stories through ink.

Master urushi artisan Shimizu-san has adorned this Italian handcrafted creation with his expertise, giving rise to a dialogue defined by care, dedication, and reverence for time. Each piece is the result of months of work — slow, precise gestures encapsulating the shared passion of two worlds united by a devotion to art.

With LA DOTTA Yamanaka Onsen, writing becomes an immersive experience: an echo of traditions that converse and merge, leaving within every written line the poetry of a timeless encounter.
