Ink jet recording method

An ink jet recording method comprising:

• a reaction liquid attachment step of attaching a reaction liquid to a fabric;
• and
• an ink attachment step of attaching a white ink composition to the fabric with the attached reaction liquid, wherein
• the reaction liquid contains one or more selected from a polyvalent metal salt, a cationic polymer, and an organic acid as an aggregation agent,
• the white ink composition contains one or both of a white pigment and a resin particle,
• the reaction liquid attachment step and the ink attachment step are performed by an ink jet method,
• the ink jet method performs main scanning a plurality of times, the main scanning performing recording by moving an ink jet head in a direction perpendicular to a transport direction of the fabric,
• the reaction liquid and the white ink composition are attached to the same scanning region of the fabric by the same main scanning,
• the same main scanning is performed a plurality of times with respect to the same scanning region, and
• (amount of attachment in first pass)>(amount of attachment in nth pass)
• (amount of attachment in first pass)+(amount of attachment in nth pass)≥20 mg/inch2,
• where a total amount of attachment per unit area of the reaction liquid and the white ink composition that are attached to the fabric by the first main scanning with respect to the same scanning region is denoted by “amount of attachment in first pass”, and a total amount of attachment per unit area of the reaction liquid and the white ink composition that are attached to the fabric by the nth main scanning is denoted by “amount of attachment in nth pass”, n being an integer of 2 or more, and
• a difference in landing time between the reaction liquid and the white ink composition attached by the same main scanning with respect to the same scanning region is within 0.5 sec.
