Japan Flasta Association
ACTIVITIES
Activities
Built around the six pillars set out in Chapter 4 of our guidelines, we are creating systems that reduce the burdens and risks for those who send, make, and accept flower stands.
SIX PILLARS
Our Six Activities
Not to restrict flasta, but to protect and grow it. Based on our guidelines, we work on the following six activities.
Standard Regulations
We develop standard guidelines for flower stand acceptance rules that currently differ from venue to venue — covering delivery methods, installation, size limits, safety standards, collection, and contact points — to prevent trouble caused by mismatched expectations.
Member Florist Program
We register florists that meet defined standards — practical experience in production, delivery, and collection, plus a system for checking event regulations — as association member florists, so organizers, venues, and users can order with confidence.
Consultation Desk for Organizers and Venues
We advise event organizers and venues on whether and how to accept flower stands: designing regulations, setting acceptance and safety management fees, introducing bulk collection, and building response flows for when trouble occurs.
Bulk Collection Scheme
To ease the burden of late-night collection after shows and of individual pickups by multiple florists, we are building a bulk collection scheme run by the association and partner companies — including rules for disposal, reuse, and sorting.
Insurance and Compensation Programs
Working with insurance companies and agencies, we are studying compensation programs that reduce the risk of users losing the substantial cost of a flower stand when an event is canceled or postponed due to force majeure.
Public Outreach and Education
We share accurate knowledge, etiquette, and the thinking behind regulations through our website and events, creating an environment where even first-time senders can give a flower stand with confidence.
FOR EACH ROLE
What We Offer Each Role
The association provides support and points of contact for everyone involved in flasta.

MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA
Nine Criteria for Member Florists
Member florists are asked to meet the following criteria set out in Chapter 4 of our guidelines (see the guidelines for member florists).
FOR VENUES
Ten Things Venues Should Clarify in Advance
From Chapter 6 of our guidelines. Simply announcing these ten items dramatically reduces inquiries from florists and users — and trouble on the day. We will help you work through them; get in touch.
HOW IT WORKS
From Inquiry to Partnership
Whether you are a florist looking to join or a venue seeking advice, it all starts with one contact form.
Contact us
Send us your role (florist, organizer/venue, or other) and what you would like to discuss via the form.
Consultation
We ask about your current operations, challenges, and venue conditions. Online meetings are available.
Proposal and coordination
Based on the guidelines, we propose draft acceptance rules, membership checkpoints, or a collection plan.
Launch and ongoing support
After launch, we continue to support you with advice on trouble, prevention, and reviewing the rules.
