Ink jet recording method and ink jet recording apparatus

An ink jet recording method comprising recording an image on a recording medium through use of an ink jet recording apparatus, the inkjet recording apparatus comprising:

• an aqueous ink;
• a recording head including an ink flow path in which the aqueous ink flows and including an ejection orifice configured to eject the aqueous ink;
• an ink storage portion configured to form a recording unit with the recording head;
• a pump configured to be connectable to the ink storage portion;
• and
• a recovery mechanism configured to recover an ejection state of the aqueous ink from the ejection orifice by applying pressure to the ink flow path inside the recording head by means of the pump,
• wherein the aqueous ink contains resin particles each dyed with a basic dye exhibiting fluorescence and a water-soluble resin,
• wherein the resin particles are each formed of a resin having an anionic group-containing unit,
• wherein the water-soluble resin has an anionic group-containing unit;
• and
• wherein the recovery mechanism is configured to recover the ejection state of the aqueous ink from the ejection orifice by applying pressure from an upstream side of the ink flow path inside the recording head toward the ejection orifice by means of the pump.
