Familiar products are now available as return gifts for hometown tax donations in Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture!
Familia Check is a popular item at Familia.
This fabric, which has been popular for a long time, is made in Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Banshuori, a local industry in Nishiwaki City with a history of over 200 years, is a pre-dyed fabric in which the threads are dyed before the fabric is woven. This technique allows for a variety of patterns to be woven, resulting in a more vibrant fabric with a pleasant texture.
This time, we have prepared a familiar check shoulder bag and pouch with a motif of strawberries, a specialty of Nishiwaki City.

What is Banshuori?
The "Familiar Check" fabric has been a beloved Familiar staple since its creation in the late 1950s.
It is made in Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, the birthplace of pre-dyed fabrics and Banshu weaving, and is processed in all stages from yarn dyeing, warping, weaving, and finishing.
Instead of using the air looms that are now commonplace, we use traditional rapier looms and shuttle weaving machines to continue to precisely reproduce the colors and textures that Familia has cultivated over a long period of time.

What is Hometown Tax?
Hometown tax is a system that allows you to make donations to the hometown where you were born or to a local government you want to support.
Once you have completed the procedure, you will be able to receive a tax refund and a deduction on your local tax for any donation over 2,000 yen, as long as it is within the deduction limit.
This is an attractive system that allows you to specify how your donation will be used and also gives you a thank-you gift such as a local specialty product.
