Abstract
Provided is a technique in which liquid leaking in attachment and detachment of a liquid storage container to and from a printing apparatus can be retained with a simple, space-saving configuration. The liquid storage container can be attached to the printing apparatus. The liquid storage container includes a storage portion that stores the liquid, a supply port that supplies the liquid stored in the storage portion to the printing apparatus, and a liquid retaining portion that is capable of retaining the liquid leaking in the attachment and detachment of the liquid storage container to and from the printing apparatus by using capillary force. The liquid retaining portion extends along an outer peripheral surface of the supply port, in an attachment direction in which the liquid storage container is attached to the printing apparatus.
