Need help with Chinese/Japanese markings on large vase.

I have always been interested in this vase. I love the mystic storm look to it. The green and blues go very well together I must say. There are markings which or Chinese or Japanese, wish I could tell the difference between the two. Wondering if someone could help out with this.

 

Can someone translate this? I would really like to know what it reads.

 

I'm pretty sure it is Chinese. There is a site for Chinese marks (link Below). If you can't find it there, There is a link in the beginning text that will allow you to e-mail him and he may be able to help. It is a beautiful vase. Let us know if you find out something!

BTW. I could be totally wrong about it being Chinese, it may be Japanes. The sight I linked also has a section showing Japanese Marks too....so be sure to look there too.

 

Thank you. Looks like I need a cup of coffee for this journey.

 

I know this is an older thread but I've searched and searched but I just can't seem to find anything. I am hoping that some of the new members or someone might know what this markings say. Thank you in advance.
