Abstract
The present disclosure provides a block copolymer composition for a flexographic plate comprising a block copolymer A represented by the following general formula (A) and a block copolymer B represented by the following general formula (B), wherein: a content of aromatic vinyl monomer units relative to all monomer units constituting polymer components of the block copolymer composition for the flexographic plate is 18% to 70% by mass; a type A hardness is 25 to 65; and an anisotropic index is 2.0 or less.
