Greetings sir! Now, that is a wonderful bit of information! Thank you so much for the help! Now i have a very solid start in researching the subject. It really helped alot! Thank you once again! Cheers!

Thank you sir! Indeed lacquer is used sometime along the process, but, we cant find complete english/Japanese identification of the style i posted. I have seen that piece from Mandarin Mansion. But, there too, the description is only that is a simulation of wood. i think there is one style that uses urushi covered plain wood, another that uses urushi covered carved wood simulating old wood, and a third one that uses plain wood covered in carved urushi simulating old wood. Also, would be nice a description of the process. Ps:thank tou for sharing that link. some very beautiful textures there

Greetings everyone! Can anyone help me identifying this style of koshirae? All i know it is an Aikuchi, but i have no clue about the finishing style... First from Victoria and Albert museum. Second, i do not remenber. Can anyone provide a propper, complete and correct english/Japanese classification? How is it made? Is the wood texture achieved by carving the lacquer? Or, is the wood carved and then lacquered? Thank you!
