Because he founded Kanazawa Vaccination Institute which became the foundation of Kaga Domain Medical School (one of the schools streamed from the present Department of Medicine, Kanazawa University) and was the founder of modern medical science in Hokuriku region, a relief sculpture of him was set up in the campus of Department of Medicine, Kanazawa University, to commemorate him.
加賀藩医学館（現金沢大学医学部の源流諸校の1つ）の基となる金沢種痘所を創るなど、北陸近代医学の祖であり、金大医学部キャンパスには彼を記念するレリーフが設置されている。
