Artificial leather and method for manufacturing same

An artificial leather comprising:

• a fibrous substrate formed of ultrafine fibers having an average single fiber diameter of 0.1 μm or more and 10 μm or less;
• and
• an elastomer,
• wherein the elastomer contains a compound having a hydrophilic group and a compound having an ethylene oxide skeleton represented by general formula (1) as below, and a content of the compound having the ethylene oxide skeleton in the elastomer of the artificial leather is parts by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the elastomer,
• [Chemical formula 1]
• R1CH2CH2nR2 (1)
• wherein R1 and R2 are functional groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and n represents the number of repeating units of 10 or more and 200 or less.
