A method for manufacturing a
crystal-oriented
ceramic comprising a sheet-making step, a
crystallization-promoting layer-forming step and a calcining step is provided. At the sheet-making step, a green sheet 1 is made. At the
crystallization-promoting layer-forming step, a
crystallization-promoting layer 15 containing crystallization-promoting material particles 151 is formed so as to contact the green sheet 1. At the calcining step, the green sheet is calcined. A method for manufacturing a
ceramic laminate comprising a laminate-making step and a calcining step is provided. At the laminate-making step, a laminate is made, where green sheets and
electrode-printed
layers are stacked. The crystallization-promoting layer, containing the crystallization-promoting material particles, which allow
crystal grains in a polycrystalline substance to grow during calcining, is formed so as to contact the green sheet. At the calcining step, the laminate is calcined.
