PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform easy and appropriate magnetic transfer to a perpendicular magnetic recording medium. SOLUTION: A recording medium 2, having a perpendicular magnetic recording layer 22 and patterned master support 3 in which, on a surface of a nonmagnetic substrate 31, a magnetic layer pattern consisting of a magnetic element 32 mutually isolated in accordance with a required transfer pattern are formed using a magnetic field generating means 5 consisting of a main pole 6 having an end face 6a of a designated area, an auxiliary magnetic pole 7 having an end face 7a sufficiently larger area than the end surface 6a of the main pole 6, a coil 8 wound around the auxiliary magnetic pole 7, a connection magnetic member 9 for connecting the main pole 6 and the auxiliary magnetic pole 7, is arranged so that the master carrier 3 is at the side of the main pole 6 and the auxiliary magnetic pole 7 in a state where suface on the side of the magnetic layer pattern of master support 3 and the surface on the side of the perpendicular magnetic recording layer 22 of the recording medium 2 are closely contacted, current is fed to the coil 8, the transfer pattern expressed by the magnetic layer pattern is transferred as a perpendicular magnetization pattern in the perpendicular magnetic recording layer 22 by a perpendicular magnetic field Hdu1 generated in neighborhood of the main pole 6 when the current is fed to the coil 8.
