PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultraviolet curable ink jet recording composition excellent in storage stability, ejection stability and ink film concealing property. SOLUTION: An ultraviolet curing agent containing an ultraviolet curable compound and a photopolymerization initiator, an ink composition for ink jet recording, a solvent having a low boiling point, and an ink utilizing reaction heat generated by a curing reaction by ultraviolet irradiation. The low-boiling solvent contained in is vaporized to make the ink film after ultraviolet curing porous, thereby obtaining a white image with high concealability. [Selection] Figure 1 |
