 note = {pdf, 橋供養とは辞書の説明に「橋をかけ終わった時、橋の上で供養をすること。また、その供養。橋の供養」（日本国語大辞典）や、「架橋工事が終わった後、其の橋上で行う法会」（大漢和辞典）などとある。『古事類苑』地部の橋の項には橋供養とその下位に橋祈祷・橋祭が配されるなど、その祭儀がよく知られていたことを物語っている。
　橋供養の最古の例は大化二年（六四六）紀年を持つ宇治橋断碑にまで遡り得る。特に関東に膨大な数の碑塔が残されていることも特徴的で、現存の供養碑も埼玉県を最多として二千基を超える橋供養碑が現存する。
　橋供養碑の多くは「橋供養」あるいは「橋供養塔」を碑面に明記するが、近代以降には「記念碑（紀念碑）」等の記載も見られる。今では宗教色を薄めた記載となっているが、かつて行われた法会等の営みが記念祭に置き換わったものといえ、建碑意識に変わりはない。そして、神儒仏の三教合一で説かれる善書による広宣もあった。これらは、文献上は、日・中・台で確認され、残存する供養碑の存在や、善書に見える絵画や文章からは、放生に関わって堕地獄からの救済を求める営みを奨励する文言がうかがえるのである。
　本稿は、橋供養を象徴的なものとして採りあげ、生き物供養と何でも供養が決して無関係ではなく、モノの供養が基本的
に生き物（特に牛馬）への供養と不即不離の関係で連綿と続いていることを説くものである。
　The definition of Hashi Kuyo in the dictionary is “When a bridge is finished, a memorial service is held on top of the bridge. A memorial service held on that bridge'(Daikanji Dictionary). 'Kojiruien shows that the ceremony was well known, such as the bridge memorial service and the bridge prayer and bridge festival under it in the section on the bridge in the ground.
　The oldest example of bridge memorial services can be traced back to the Uji Bridge Monument dated 646 (Taika 2). Especially in the Kanto region, a huge number of stone monuments remain, and Saitama Prefecture has the largest number of existing bridge memorial monuments, with more than 2,000 bridges memorial monuments.
　Many of the bridge monuments are clearly marked as 'Bridge memorial service'Or 'bridge memorial tower' on the surface of the monument, but in modern times. Youcan also see things that are just "memorial". Although the description is now lessreligious, it can be said that the pujas and other activities that were once held have been
replaced with memorial ceremonies, and the awareness of erecting the monument hasnot changed. In addition, there was also publicity by good books preached in the unity of the three teachings of Shinto Confucianism and Buddhism. These are confirmed in Japan, China, and Taiwan in literature, and the existence of surviving memorial monuments and paintings and writings that appear to be good books encourage people to seek salvation from hell by being involved in hojo. rice field.
　This paper takes up the bridge memorial service as a symbolic one, and the memorial service for living creatures and the memorial service for everything are by no means unrelated, and the memorial service for things basically continues in an inseparable relationship with the memorial service for living things (especially cattle and horses).},
