Photocurable ink composition, recording method, recording apparatus, photocurable ink jet recording ink composition, and ink jet recording method

A photocurable ink j et recording ink composition comprising polymerizable compounds and a photopolymerization initiator, wherein

• the polymerizable compounds include:
• vinyl ether group-containing (meth)acrylic esters represented by the following Formula (I):
• CH2═CR1—COOR2—O—CH═CH—R3 (I)
• (wherein, 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) in an amount of 45 to 80% by mass based on the total mass of the ink composition;
• and
• monofunctional (meth)acrylate having an aromatic ring skeleton in an amount of 5 to 40% by mass based on the total mass of the ink composition.
