An air and liquid exchange area EA and a reservoir area RA are provided in a structure for guiding liquid (for example, ink IK) stored in a storage chamber 131 to an applicator body 111 through a relay member 151. The air and liquid exchange area EA suctions and holds the ink IK supplied from the storage chamber 131 using capillary action that is weaker than in the relay member 151, and guides the ink IK to the relay member 151. The reservoir area RA encloses the relay member 151 across a gap (a second gap G2) at a position connected with the air and liquid exchange area EA, and temporarily holds the ink IK pushed out from the storage chamber 131 and through the air and liquid exchange area EA. |
