 The Texas Historical Commission has constructed a marker on road FM 1135 seven miles (11 km) southeast of Vidor, Texas in recognition of the accomplishments of Kishi and his colony to the region.In this same area, a road that runs through the central part of Orange County was named "Jap Lane" years back, supposedly in honor of the Japanese for the positive impact on the agriculture of the region.However, the word Jap is now considered a racial slur and the road's name has been targeted by civil rights groups.
