After the Shinsengumi fell to the Meiji government, he returned to his home and changed his name to Sugimura Yoshie. In 1882 (Meiji 15), he traveled to Hokkaido and became a kendo instructor for a few years, retiring then after he made some graves for his long departed Shinsengumi friends. A few years later, he written an autobiography telling his days in the Shinsengumi, which lead to his fame. He died shortly after at the ripe age of 76 in the year of 1915 (Taisho 4).
