A photocurable resin of the present technology contains: a main backbone chain having repeating units represented by Formulas (Ia) and (Ib), and a (meth)acryloyl group and a non-photoreactive group at terminals; the non-photoreactive group being at least one type selected from the group consisting of saturated hydrocarbon groups and aromatic hydrocarbon groups which optionally have a heteroatom; a hydroxy group, an amino group, —CH═NH, a carboxy group, or a mercapto group being not bonded to an end of the non-photoreactive group; a content of the repeating unit represented by Formula (Ia) being greater than 15 mol % of an amount of the main backbone chain; and contents of the (meth)acryloyl group and the non-photoreactive group each being 5 mol % or greater of an amount of the ends.
