A method for manufacturing ink jet recording heads comprises the steps of forming a film of a first inorganic material in the form of ink flow path pattern using the soluble first inorganic material on the substrate having ink discharge pressure generating elements formed thereon, forming a film of a second inorganic material becoming ink flow walls on the film of the first inorganic material using the second inorganic material, forming ink discharge openings on the film of the second inorganic material above the ink discharge pressure generating elements, and eluting the film of the first inorganic material.
