<p>An ink cartridge (10) which supplies ink to an ink jet recording apparatus through an ink supply needle of the ink jet recording apparatus, has a container body (12) having a shape of an approximately rectangular parallelepiped including an ink supply surface (18) on which an ink supply passage (16) into which the ink supply needle is inserted is provided, in which the height of a side surface (26) approximately orthogonal to the ink supply surface is larger than at least one width of the ink supply surface, and one of the side surfaces is an opening surface (28) opened in the direction of the width; a lid member (14), which has the approximately same shape as the opening surface and seals the opening surface of the container body; and a porous member (20), which has the approximately same shape as the container body and is housed in a space formed by the container body and lid member. <IMAGE></p> |
