The open area around the stele came to be known as ''Himun-nu-mo'' ("Hair of the Stele Inscription"), and beginning in 1935 it came to be the terminal of the Naha-Shuri bus line. The stele was destroyed in the 1945 Battle of Okinawa; a reconstruction stands to the east side of the Shureimon and [[Sonohyan utaki]] today, alongside a reconstruction of another stele known as ''[[Madama minato himon]]'', also originally erected in that location the same year. Both have been reconstructed based on surviving portions of the original, and on other surviving stelae.
