PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing an anode for a dye-sensitized solar cell that is excellent in design and that can freely control an optical power generation amount and a light transmission amount, and to provide a method of manufacturing a dye-sensitized solar cell.SOLUTION: A method of manufacturing an anode 10 for a dye-sensitized solar cell that has a porous semiconductor layer 12 that is made adsorb sensitization dye on a transparent substrate 11, includes: a semiconductor layer formation step of forming a mask 13 configured by a heat-resistant resin in a preliminarily set region on the transparent substrate 11, and then, forming a porous semiconductor layer 14 on this transparent substrate 11 by using a spray coating method; and a dye adsorption step of removing the mask 13 from the region on the transparent substrate 11, and then, making the porous semiconductor layer 12 outside the region on the transparent substrate 11 adsorb the sensitization dye. The dye-sensitized solar cell is manufactured by arranging the anode 10 for a dye-sensitized solar cell and a cathode opposedly while interposing a gap, and filling between the anode 10 for the dye-sensitized solar cell and the cathode with an electrolyte. 【課題】意匠性に優れ、光発電量と光透過量を自在にコントロール可能な色素増感太陽電池用アノードの製造方法及び色素増感太陽電池の製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】増感色素を吸着させた多孔質半導体層１２を透明基板１１上に有する色素増感太陽電池用アノード１０の製造方法において、透明基板１１上の予め設定した領域に、耐熱性樹脂で構成されるマスク１３を形成した後、この透明基板１１上に、溶射法を用いて多孔質半導体層１４を形成する半導体層形成工程と、透明基板１１上の領域からマスク１３を除去した後、透明基板１１上の領域外の多孔質半導体層１２に増感色素を吸着させる色素吸着工程とを有する。色素増感太陽電池は、色素増感太陽電池用アノード１０とカソードとを、隙間を有して対向配置し、色素増感太陽電池用アノード１０とカソードの間に電解質を充填して製造する。【選択図】図１
