PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal transfer image receiving sheet whose texture of glossiness and surface shape is the same as that of paper, having excellent reproducibility of intermediate color and gradation, capable of forming high quality images whose gradation discontinuity of generating a pinhole-like decoloration in a specified color mixture image is prevented, and a method for manufacturing the sheet. SOLUTION: In manufacturing a thermal transfer image receiving sheet, at least an intermediate layer 3 and a receiving layer 4 are formed in the described order on a base material 1 made of pulp as a main substance. The intermediate layer 3 is formed into a discontinuous structure having fine cavities and the receiving layer 4 is formed on the intermediate layer 3. In the thermal transfer image receiving sheet obtained by forming a foaming layer 2, the intermediate layer 3, and the receiving layer 4 on the base material 1 made of pulp as a main substance, the intermediate layer 3 is formed into the discontinuous structure having the fine cavities. |
