This above is a shot of the 300-year-old Japanese Stone Lantern, presented to the United States in 1954, by Sadao Iguchi, the Japanese Ambassador, given to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first Treaty of Peace, Amity and Commerce between the United States and Japan in 1854. The The National Cherry Blossom Festival officially is opened by the lighting of the Lantern.
