Zusammenfassung:A developer accommodating unit includes a frame that has an opening for discharging a developer, and a sealing unit that has a sealing portion for sealing the opening, in which a state of the sealing unit is capable of changing from a first state in which the sealing portion seals the opening to a second state in which the opening is opened. A tip of a first part is positioned on a downstream side of the base of the first part in a first direction if the sealing unit is in the first state, and the first part is deformed such that the tip of the first part is positioned on an upstream side of the base of the first part in the first direction if the state of the sealing unit changes from the first state to the second state.
