Abstract: Complication and an increase in size of an apparatus when suppressing precipitation of a precipitating component contained in liquid are suppressed. In a liquid supply apparatus 20, ink containing pigment, which is a precipitating component, is contained in a liquid containing portion 52, and the ink contained in the liquid containing portion 52 is guided from a liquid supply portion of a holding portion 54 to a printer. A liquid containing body 50 is configured with the liquid containing portion 52 fixed to the holding portion 54, and is attached to an attachment/detachment unit 30 in a detachable manner. The attachment/detachment unit 30 supports the liquid containing body 50 by the holding portion 54 thereof in a state where the liquid containing portion 52 is exposed, and transmits an X-axis reciprocating movement XM along an X-axis, for example, to the liquid containing portion 52 of the liquid containing body 50 that is thus supported.
