I need to figure out as much as I can about a certain Japanese artifact?

Question:


Hello. I only have a couple of images to go by, but I need to know:
What exactly is it? It looks like a sake jug, but could it be something else?
Any historical information?

Just anything at all. It needs to be sold at this antique shop, so...

Answer:


It is a sake barrel.
