PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid injection method of a liquid container in which a liquid can be injected without various functions of the liquid container being damaged, and to provide the liquid container. SOLUTION: The liquid container of an atmosphere open type is equipped in a container body 10 with an ink containing part which stores the ink, an ink supply part connected to a printer side, an ink guiding path which guides the ink stored in the ink containing part to the ink supply part, and an atmosphere communicating path which introduces the atmosphere from the outside into the ink containing part following consumption of the ink in the ink containing part. At the same time, the liquid container is equipped at a lower ink containing chamber 390 with a bottom face 535, a side wall face 537 which intersects the bottom face 535, and an ink containing part outlet which is bored in the bottom face 535 adjacent to the side wall face 537 to make the liquid containing part communicate with a downstream side ink end sensor connecting passage. The ink cartridge is constituted by forming an injection port to communicate with the liquid containing part in the atmosphere communicating path for the liquid container, injecting a predetermined amount of the ink from the injection port, and sealing the injection port after the ink is injected.
