A photosensitive composition containing a polyfunctional aromatic diazo compound having at least two groups of Formula (uD) in the molecule, and a photosensitive composition using the same. The diazo compound can be handled under visible light free from ultraviolet, is highly photosensitive, has good shelf life, and lithographic printing plates and screen printing plates formed with the same: ##STR1## wherein G.sup.1 is a substituent derived from alcoholic hydroxyl group; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, or alkyl or alkyloxy of 1 to 8 carbon atoms;

Photosensitive compositions comprising photosensitive polyfunctional

An photosensitive polyfunctional aromatic diazo compound having at least two groups of Formula (uD) in the molecule, and a photosensitive composition using the same. The diazo compound can be handled under visible light free from ultraviolet, is highly photosensitive, has good shelf life, and is adequate as a photosensitive agent for lithographic printing plates and screen printing plates: ##STR1## wherein G.sup.1 is a substituent derived from alcoholic hydroxyl group; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, or alkyl or alkyloxy of 1 to 8 carbon atoms;
