Founded | 2011 |
Founder(s) | Misako Aoki |
The Japan Lolita Association (JLA) is an organization that was established by Misako Aoki in 2011.[1] When the JLA first launched Misako wanted to recruit a 'Kawaii Ambassador' for each area of Japan (Hokkaido/Tohoku/Chubu/West Japan/Kyushu). [2] These Kawaii Ambassadors would be expected to host events/tea parties for their area as local event leaders.[2] To apply, you had to first join the affiliated SMS site, Loliepe.[2]
Unlike Misako, who's title of Kawaii Ambassador was an official government title, these Kawaii Ambassadors were not directly affiliated with the Japanese ministry of culture.[3]
In 2013, the JLA re-launched their website at a new url with a new more global focus.[4][5] The new site suggested that benefits of the LJA included subscribing to their e-mail magazines, getting news about tea parties, becoming a kawaii ambassador and participating in association sponsored events.[6]
Their new list of activities included:[6]
- Disseminating Lolita news: Dissemination of lolita news through chairman Misako Aoki
- Recruiting and appointing kawaii ambassadors from all over the world: Appointment of “Kawaii Ambassadors” to each prefecture and major cities in the world
- Holding tea parties: Announcements and reports of events and tea ceremonies hosted by the Association
- Recruiting and appointing Lolita brands and tea party cafes
- Information exchange between members: Exchange information with each other on facebook, etc.
- Recruitment and appointment of schools and educational institutions: Recruitment and appointment of schools where you can study Lolita fashion
- Japan Lolita Test: Schedule and hold an official test sponsored by the association
- Job requests for Misako Aoki: Let's invite the chairman, Misako Aoki, to a tea party
The re-launched site also appeared to have a partnerships with Fukuoka Omura Beauty Fashion College, VIVRE and Maison de Julietta.[6]
In 2013, the JLA hosted a survey about the JLA World Summit.[7] The summit would end up being held at Anime Matsuri in Texas, USA in April of 2015.[8][9]
On June 23rd, 2015 the LJA announced that they would investigate Anime Matsuri.[10]
The Facebook page last updated in September 2019.[11] The main webpage went offline.
