1. A laminate-type piezoelectric element comprising:
a ceramic laminated body having alternately laminated piezoelectric layers made of a piezoelectric material and inner electrode layers having electrical conductivity, and having outer electrodes joined to the side surfaces of said ceramic laminated body via an electrically conductive adhesive,
wherein said electrically conductive adhesive has buried therein at least parts of a mesh body formed as a mesh including nonmetallic material.
