Release paper for shaping diffraction luster

The present invention provides a method for forming a surface pattern that is homogeneous, free from uneven luster, has a high brightness, can be observed in a wide field of view, Solution: This release paper is obtained by coating a surface of a base material with a coating composition comprising a water-soluble resin and a water-soluble resin A release paper for shaping a surface mode exhibiting diffraction luster to a transfer target by transfer, wherein the release paper is a laminate having a base material layer and a shaping layer that is an outermost layer on one surface, The release paper has a fine uneven structure, exhibits diffraction luster in the MD direction and MD orthogonal direction of the release paper, the fine uneven structure is formed by alternately arranging linear recesses and protrusions extending in parallel to the substantially MD direction of the release paper to form a substantially...
