The coast of Perast in Bay of Kotor, Montenegro Balkans.
It comes from the the Italian "monte negro" meaning black mountain. This is also the meaning of the country's native name, which is Crna Gora.
The name Montenegro itself reflects the time when Venice ruled over that region. The reference to black mountains in turn comes from the excessively mountainous geography of the country.
"Montenegro's native name, Crna Gora ("Black Mountain"), is mentioned for the first time in 1276 by Serbian King Stefan Uroš I (1243-1276) in his edicts to the Serbian Orthodox Zeta Episcopate seat at the Vranjina island in Lake Skadar. The origin of the term lies in the Slavic reference to excessively mountainous regions, often emerging in the medieval Serbian realm."

The National Cherry Blossom Festival is a spring celebration in Washington, D.C., commemoratLike the Japanese Pagoda, which is nearby, the Japanese Lantern looks modest and unassuming.
Both are very deliberately placed among the famous cherry blossoms that line the edge of the Tidal Basin. They are, after all, Japanese cherry blossoms, also known as Sakura. And like both monuments, the trees themselves were originally a gift from Japan.
The granite lantern dates back around 1651, making it of a similar age to the Japanese Pagoda.
It was installed here in 1954, but for the first three centuries of its life, it sat in the grounds of a temple in Tokyo. Less than a decade after the end of World War II, it was moved from there and gifted by the governor of Tokyo to the United States on the hundredth anniversary of the peace treaty of Yokohama, which is also known as the Convention of Kanagawa and better known in the United States as the “opening” of Japan to the West by U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry. Cherry blossom festivities were already well-established at the Tidal Basin at least a decade for the lantern arrived, but since 1954 the lantern lighting ceremony has become a key ceremonial moment in the festival. The lighting is traditionally done by an “Embassy of Japan Cherry Blossom princesses,” which is usually a daughter of one of the Japanese diplomats based at the embassy.
ing the March 27, 1912, gift of Japanese cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City to the city of Washington, D.C. Mayor Ozaki donated the trees to enhance the growing friendship between the United States and Japan and also celebrate the continued close relationship between the two nations. (wiki)
