In 1986, an Interstate 95 exit sign for "Yamato Road" near Boca Raton drew the attention of a Japanese journalism intern, leading him to tell the story of Yamato Colony. His book details the efforts of Japanese settlers who ventured across the globe at the dawn of the 20th century to the wilds of Florida. The colony's lone survivor left a lasting legacy by donating the land that would become the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach.
