In recognition of his contribution, he was awarded with Shohachii (Senior Eighth Rank) after the restoration of the court rank system (When the former court rank system was abolished in 1871, previous ranks were all nullified, and the ranking standard was reviewed for the new ranking system, so this was not a demotion.).
その功績によって位階制度復活後に正八位に叙せられる（明治4年（1871年）の旧位階制度廃止時に従来の位階は全て無効になり、叙位基準も変更されているので、左遷ではない）。
