Radiation-curable ink jet composition and recording method

A radiation-curable ink jet composition comprising:

• inorganic particles;
• a coloring material;
• and
• a polymerizable compound,
• wherein the polymerizable compound contains a monofunctional monomer,
• a content of the monofunctional monomer is 80% by mass or greater with respect to a total amount of the polymerizable compound,
• a content of the inorganic particles is 10% by mass or less with respect to a total amount of the ink composition,
• the monofunctional monomer contains a monofunctional monomer having an alicyclic group, and a content of the monofunctional monomer having the alicyclic group is in a range of 15% to 35% relative to a total amount of the polymerizable compound,
• the polymerizable compound contains a polyfunctional monomer, and
• the polyfunctional monomer contains a vinyl group-containing (meth) acrylate represented by Formula (1):
• H2C═CR1—CO—OR2—O—CH═CH—R3(1)
• wherein in the formula (1), R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R2 represents a divalent organic residue having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic residue having 1 to 11 carbon atoms.
