The Tidal Basin Lantern is situated adjacent to the Tidal Basin in Southwest Washington, DC, near Kutz Bridge and the site where the first cherry trees were planted by First Lady Helen Taft and Viscountess Iwa Chinda (wife of Japan's Ambassador) in 1912. The governor of Tokyo presented a 10-foot-tall stone lantern to the United States as a gift, and a dedication ceremony was held on March 30, 1954, to honor the one-hundredth anniversary of Commodore Matthew Perry arriving in Japan and opening trade routes. This lantern is one of a pair dating back to 1651 (the other remains in Tokyo's Ueno Park) built to commemorate Tokugawa Iemitsu's passing (1604-1651), Japan's third shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty. The pedestal lantern represents traditional stone lanterns found in Japanese temples and shrines, with five parts symbolizing elements from Buddhist philosophy.
