a block isocyanate compound;
a hydroxyethyl cellulose; and
a cationic compound.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The treatment liquid composition for ink jet pigment printing, according to claim 1,
wherein the cloth contains fibers having hydroxy groups.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The treatment liquid composition for ink jet pigment printing, according to claim 1,
wherein the cationic compound contains a polyvalent metal salt or a cationic polymer.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The treatment liquid composition for ink jet pigment printing, according to claim 1,
wherein the block isocyanate compound is blocked by dimethyl pyrazole or methyl ethyl ketoxime.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The treatment liquid composition for ink jet pigment printing, according to claim 1,
wherein the block isocyanate compound includes an aliphatic diisocyanate compound.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The treatment liquid composition for ink jet pigment printing, according to claim 1,
