Original Abstract Submitted
A developer replenishment container configured to be detachably attachable to a developer replenishment device and replenish via the developer replenishment device is disclosed. The developer replenishment container including: a developer replenishment portion with a replenishment port; a developer accommodation portion having accommodate a developer; and an annular seal member for sealing a gap between the developer replenishment portion and the developer accommodation portion. The developer accommodation portion has an annular abutment portion provided at an end portion on a developer replenishment portion side in a direction of an axis which is a rotation center of the developer accommodation portion and provided to be in contact with the seal member in the direction of the axis; and a projecting portion provided near the abutment portion and provided to project toward the developer replenishment portion further than the abutment portion in the direction of the axis.
