Description
LA DOTTA Yamanaka Onsen
A silent journey connects Bologna to Yamanaka Onsen.
Two distant worlds, but close in spirit: one, rooted in the millenary wisdom of its stones and towers; the other, guardian of an ancient art that relies on the patience of the hands and the slow passage of time.
Yamanaka Onsen is a small hidden corner in Ishikawa Prefecture where, in the silence of hot springs and walks in the woods, the tradition of wood carving and precious “urushi” lacquering has been handed down for centuries, a patient and delicate ritual.
From the symbolic encounter between Bologna and Yamanaka Onsen, LA DOTTA Yamanaka Onsen was born, a fountain pen that becomes a bridge between cultures, languages and traditions. Covered in the refined urushi Tamenuri lacquer, in the warm wood brown tone, the pen breathes depth and transparencies, like a forest at sunset that changes light with every step. Each layer of lacquer is waiting, breathing, a gesture repeated with care, capable of transforming itself into living matter that preserves the essence of time.
Within LA DOTTA collection, dedicated to the city of Bologna and its inexhaustible cultural vocation, this special model carries with it the soul of the East and intertwines it with the memory of the West.
It is a hymn to writing understood as a journey, a trace that unites distant lands and tells new stories, in the flow of ink.
Master urushi Shimizu-san has expertly dressed an Italian handcrafted product with his mastery, giving life to a dialogue made of care, dedication and respect for time. Each piece is the result of months of work, slow and precise gestures that encapsulate the passion of two worlds united by the love for art.
With LA DOTTA Yamanaka Onsen, writing becomes an experience, an echo of traditions that dialogue and merge, leaving the poetry of a timeless encounter in the written sign.
