A laminate is provided and includes a base material; an intermediate layer provided on the base material and having an accommodation part; a recording medium provided in the accommodation part; and an overlay layer provided on the intermediate layer. The accommodation part is provided in a part of a plane of the intermediate layer, and the accommodation part is a through hole penetrating in the thickness direction of the intermediate layer or a recess recessed in the thickness direction of the intermediate layer. The recording medium includes a color development layer containing: a coloring compound having an electron donating property; a developer having an electron accepting property; and a matrix resin. The base material, the intermediate layer, and the overlay layer contain the same type of resin material.

Provided is a thermosensitive recording medium including a support and a thermosensitive recording layer disposed on or above the support. The thermosensitive recording layer include a compound represented by General Formula (1) and a styrene-acryl resin, where, in General Formula (1), R.sub.2 is a C1-12 straight-chain, branched-chain, or alicyclic alkyl group, C7-12 aralkyl group that is substituted with a C1-12 alkyl group, a C1-12 alkoxy group, a C6-12 aryl group or a halogen atom, or a C6-12 aryl group that is unsubstituted or substituted with a C1-12 alkyl group, a C1-12 alkoxy group, a C6-12 aryl group, or a halogen atom, where two or more R.sub.2 may be identical to or different from each other; and A.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group, where two or more A.sub.1, may be identical to or different from each other. ##STR00001##
