Posted By: David Thu, Dec 25, 2014 IP: 99.236.194.58

Hello All! Can someone please translate the marks on this Okinawa pottery jug for me and perhaps give me a date! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! David.

I have no idea how to pronounce it, but the kanji 神材醸 would read down literally as "Spiritual Brew" or perhaps "Sacramental Wine". The characters tend to connote a fermented beverage, possibly sweet, used to celebrate a Shinto or other religious rite. Japanese expertise will be needed for the final word.

Best regards,

Bill H.
