La Dotta Yamanaka Onsen Limited Edition Fountain Pen

A quiet path connects Bologna and Yamanaka Onsen. Two distant places, yet close in spirit:
Bologna, shaped by its ancient stones; Yamanaka Onsen, guardian of crafts born from patience and time.

Hidden in the forests of Ishikawa Prefecture, Yamanaka Onsen has preserved the art of wood carving and urushi lacquer for centuries — a slow and delicate ritual.

From the meeting of these two worlds comes LA DOTTA Yamanaka Onsen, a fountain pen that bridges cultures and traditions.
Covered in urushi Tamenuri lacquer, in a deep wood-brown tone, it plays with light like a forest at sunset. Each layer of lacquer rests, breathes, and transforms — a quiet rhythm that holds the passage of time.

Part of the LA DOTTA collection, dedicated to Bologna and its enduring culture, this edition carries the soul of the East within an Italian creation. It celebrates writing as a journey that links distant lands through ink and gesture.

Master urushi artist Shimizu-san has dressed this pen with care and precision, shaping a dialogue built on respect and dedication. Each piece is months in the making, the result of patient work that unites two worlds through a shared love for art.

With LA DOTTA Yamanaka Onsen, writing becomes an encounter between traditions — a quiet sign that preserves the beauty of time.
