PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wiping apparatus capable of forming a gas flow that is parallel to a nozzle plate and is stable, without coming into contact with the nozzle plate. SOLUTION: The wiping apparatus has a gas injection aperture that injects gas, and a guide section that has a projectingly curved surface which has an apex and over which gas injected from the gas injection aperture is blown. In the wiping apparatus, foreign substances adhering to the nozzle plate of an inkjet head placed above the guide section is blown away by gas guided along the curved surface of the guide section.
