To provide printed matter obtained by printing a picture pattern on a gold foil sheet stuck to a large-sized base material so that a painting on a sliding door being Japanese fusuma, the painting on a folding screen, a Japanese-style painting on the wall surface or the ceiling, etc. can be represented faithfully and to provide a method for manufacturing the printed matter.

The method for manufacturing the printed matter comprises the steps of: sticking the gold foil sheet 5 to the base material 3 of paper, wood, etc.; setting the gold foil sheet-stuck base material in a large-sized ultraviolet-curable ink-jet printing machine; printing a gloss shielding layer 7 with opaque white ink in such a portion that the gloss of the gold foil sheet 5 is shielded; printing full-color picture pattern layers 9, 9' on the printed gloss shielding layer with transparent color ink; printing an antique-looking picture pattern layer 11 with color ink directly on the gold foil sheet 5 in such a portion that dirt, stains or the like stuck to the gold foil sheet are reproduced; and covering the surfaces of the picture pattern layers 9, 9' and the antique-looking picture pattern layer 11 with a coating layer 13 to increase much more the light resistance and water resistance of the printed matter.
