Summary:To sufficiently scrape off a toner adhered to an inner wall surface.SOLUTION: A toner storage container 30 is provided with a first stirring member 33A (rotating member) that rotates in a predetermined rotation direction centered on a rotation shaft 33a. The first stirring member 33A is provided with a flexible member 33c that can be in slide contact with a slide contact surface 59b (inner wall surface) of the toner storage container 30. The flexible member 33c is provided with a base part 33c1 that is installed along a radial direction centered on the rotation shaft 33a, and a bent part 33c2 that is bent from the base part 33c1 toward the downstream side in a direction intersecting with the radial direction being a rotation direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】内壁面に付着したトナーを充分に掻き取る。【解決手段】トナー収納容器３０には、回転軸３３ａを中心に所定の回転方向に回転する第１撹拌部材３３Ａ（回転部材）が設けられている。第１撹拌部材３３Ａには、トナー収納容器３０の摺接面５９ｂ（内壁面）に摺接可能な可撓性部材３３ｃが設けられている。そして、可撓性部材３３ｃには、回転軸３３ａを中心にした径方向に沿うように設置されたベース部３３ｃ１と、ベース部３３ｃ１から径方向に交差する方向であって回転方向下流側に向かって屈曲する屈曲部３３ｃ２と、が設けられている。【選択図】図９
