Thermal transfer image receiving sheet, and method for manufacturing same

222A thermal transfer image receiving sheet, excellent in releasability even after printing based on a thermal transfer process is performed a plurality of times, is provided. The thermal transfer image receiving sheet has: a substrate sheet; and an image receiving layer which is formed on the substrate sheet and having a binder resin, a high molecular weight silicone, and a low molecular weight-modified silicone. A kinematic viscosity of the high molecular weight silicone is 500000 mm/s or more, and a kinematic viscosity of the low molecular weight-modified silicone ranges from 100 mm/s to 100000 mm/s.
