Abstract (en)

An object is to provide artificial leather that has supple flexibility and has moderate resilience while being dense and having satisfactory thickness. A main object is to provide artificial leather that includes, as constituent elements, a nonwoven fabric containing ultrafine fibers having an average single-fiber diameter of 0.1 um or more and 10 µm or less, and an elastomer, the artificial leather satisfying Formulas (a) and (b) below: 0.5≤FA/FB<10.5≤FC/FB<1 where F<sub>A</sub>, F<sub>B</sub>, and F<sub>C</sub> are respectively the fiber density (g/cm<sup>3</sup>) in a layer on one surface side, the fiber density (g/cm<sup>3</sup>) in a layer at the center in the thickness direction, and the fiber density (g/cm<sup>3</sup>) in a layer on the other surface side when the artificial leather is trisected in the thickness direction.
