Abstract: An ink replenishment container includes a container main body, an ink outlet forming section, and a valvehaving elasticity. An exterior of the valve is circular in plan view and has two or more slits that extend from a center toward a circumference so as to be joined at the center, two inclined surfaces toward the slit are formed for each of the slits so as to interpose the slit therebetween like a valley when viewed from the ink outlet side, and when a pressure difference positive in a direction from an inside of the ink replenishment container to an outside thereof acts on inner sides of the two inclined surfaces, the slits are closed, and when a pressure difference positive in a direction from the outside of the ink replenishment container to the inside thereof acts on outer sides of the two inclined surfaces, the slits are opened.
