LA アングラなら『JOINT』！！
国道５８号線沿い宜野湾市大山のジミー近くにある、黒を基調とした外観の「ＪＯＩＮＴ」は洋服や小物、タトゥーまで幅広いファッションアイテムを揃えている。
洋服の販売ではＬＡアンダーグラウンドブランドをメインにオリジナルデザインのＴシャツが大変好評。流行に左右されず、永く愛用できるものを心がけ商品を揃えている。
オーナーのハナシロ タケフミさんは高校を卒業後、憧れのローライダーを購入するため県外へ働きに出た。県外で生活する中で好みの服を販売する店に出会う。その店に通っているうちに、沖縄でもこのようなファッションを求める人が多くいると直感した。帰郷後は念願だった８６年のシボレーを購入し、本業の傍ら県外で予め仕入れたＴシャツを手売りで友人や知人へ販売を始める。口コミがどんどん広がり、予想以上のスピードで１６０枚のＴシャツが完売。その後もしばらく手売りを続けているうちに求めてくれる客を実感し、2006年に店舗を構え「ＪＯＩＮＴ」をオープン。
店では本場ＬＡの老舗ブランド「Westsid Original」を日本で初めてスペシャルオーダーし「OKINAWA OLIGINAL」を販売している。他にもデザインはオリジナルがメインでオーナー自身もデザインを手がけ、自信をもって提供できる商品のみを揃えている。
今年の５月からはＴａｔｔｏショップの営業も始めた。沖縄出身の２人のアーティスト、ハマー、ミサによるデザインはどれも繊細な仕上がりが好評を得ている。ブラック＆ホワイトのデザインを得意とし、特に人物画は自信を持ってデザインし施術している。
海外や県外から来たお客さんに、沖縄に精通するアーティストならではのオリジナルデザインをＴａｔｔｏｏで表現し、沖縄の思い出を持ち帰って欲しいとオーナーは言う。デザインはFacebook に随時更新中。ぜひチェックして好みのデザインを施して欲しい。（ＦＢアドレスJoint Art Studio Okinawa）
店の名前「ＪＯＩＮＴ」は店を始めるきっかけとなった手売り時代に人と人との繋がりの大切さを強く感じ、この名前をつけた。去った8月20日にオープンから９年目を向かえ、１０月１７日（土）に周年イベントが那覇市安里のクラブ「クラッチ」で行われる。県内アーティストはもちろん県外からもゲストＤＪを迎える。こちらも要チェックだ！
JOINT CLOTHING STORE

Located in a building with the first floor painted almost entirely black near Jimmy’s grocery store on Highway 58 in Oyama, Ginowan City, a clothing store called ‘JOINT’ is catching the eye of an increasing number of fans with its large selection of cool fashion items ranging from T-shirts to fashion accessories. Throw in a tattoo parlor in the same premises, and you’ve got something unique. The shop is the only one on Okinawa specializing in T-shirts of L.A. Underground brand. Especially, their original design T-shirts are becoming very popular.
The owner of the store, Takefumi Hanashiro, says the basic idea is to offer products that people can wear for a long time without having to worry about the latest trends.
Hanashiro came up with the idea of his shop gradually. He first ventured off from Okinawa to what he saw greener pastures in the other prefectures of Japan after graduating from a high school. His aim was simply to earn enough money to buy a genuine lowrider car that he had seen in magazines and wanted very much to have.
While living in the mainland, he by chance visited a clothing store selling his favorite apparel. He also realized that he could not purchase his favorite brand clothes on Okinawa, a situation that he was not so happy about, and decided to do something about it. His intuition told him there would be a demand for the kind of fashions he liked, and after returning home to Okinawa, he started to sell T-shirts and other items he liked to his friends and acquaintances, first just on the side. But not before buying a 1986 model Chevrolet he had set to look for to begin with.
Hanashiro’s reputation as a source for cool clothing spread via word-of-mouth, and he sold his first stock of 160 T-shirts much faster than he had expected. As the shirts flew off from his hands, he realized a potential for business.
Hanashiro finally opened his own shop he named ‘JOINT’ in 2006. It became the first shop in Japan to specially order an Okinawa version of an established L.A. brand ‘Westside Original’ T-shirts that he renamed ‘OKINAWA ORIGINAL’. Hanashiro explains the reason he named his shop ‘JOINT’ is that he strongly felt it was important to connect with people when selling T-shirts from hand to hand, which led to opening the store in the first place.
As his business has grown, Hanashiro still relies on his own judgment and only offers products that he himself has confidence in. The mainstay of his business now are T-shirts of his own original designs.
He also started a tattoo business in his shop this May. His two Okinawan artists, Hammer and Misa, have received favorable reputation for their work. They are especially good at black-and-white designs, and also can work creating portraits.
Hanashiro says he would like more off island and foreign customers to have their original Okinawan design tattoos done by local artists who know Okinawa well, and take a memory of Okinawa back to home. JOINT’s new tattoo designs are always on Facebook for anyone to check. (Look for ‘Joint Art Studio Okinawa’ on facebook).
The shop had its 9th anniversary on Aug. 20th, and a big anniversary celebration is planned at club Clutch in Asato, Naha City, for Saturday, Oct. 17th. They party will feature local Okinawan artists, of course, and a guest DJ from outside of the island. That promises to be an event not to miss.
Joint Cloting Store is located at 2-21-2, Oyama, Ginowan City. Their telephone number is 098-898-8582. The clothing store is open every day from noon to 9 p.m. The tattoo side is open same hours but closed on Wednesdays.
