The present invention is to provide an anisotropic porous material for a
fluid filter which can perform a separation process of a large amount of
fluid with high accuracy, which can achieve high flux, and which can
improve detergent properties. The anisotropic porous material includes a
plurality of pores. Each of the pores has an anisotropic shape in which a
major axis and a minor axis can be defined. An arrangement of the pores
has an orientation.
