A liquid ejection apparatus including: a head having a face that has ejection openings through which liquid is ejected to record an image on a recording medium, an ejection space being defined so as to face the face; a humidification-liquid tank storing humidification liquid having a nonvolatile component; a sealing mechanism configured to selectively establish a sealing state in which the sealing mechanism seals the ejection space from an outside and an unsealing state in which the sealing mechanism does not seal the ejection space from the outside; and a humid-air supply mechanism configured to supply humid air into the ejection space when the sealing mechanism is in the sealing state, the humid air being an air humidified by the humidification liquid in the humidification-liquid tank, wherein the humidification-liquid tank is configured to be mountable on and removable from the humid-air supply mechanism.
