Hagiwara, Sakutarō
Hagiwara Sakutarō 1886–1942
Japanese poet, critic, and essayist.
Hagiwara is considered by many critics to be the father of modern Japanese poetry. He was among the first poets to break away from the traditional, strictly metered forms of Japanese poetry as practiced in the writing of tanka and haiku. He also established a new aesthetic in Japanese poetry in which he attained a sustained poetic lyricism by using colloquial Japanese speech in free-verse poems. Hagiwara was deeply influenced by European nihilistic philosophies, and his poems, which often center on existential anxiety, are pervaded by melancholy and nostalgia.
Biographical Information
Hagiwara was born into a middle-class family in the provincial town of Maebashi, where his father was a successful physician. While in middle school he took a keen interest in literature and began submitting traditional tanka poems to the literary magazine Bunko. He later withdrew from school due to poor health, and he made sporadic attempts to earn his high school degree into his twenties. At home Hagiwara devoted himself to poetry and the study of Japanese and European literature. He also had an aptitude for music and became accomplished on mandolin and guitar. By 1910 Hagiwara had become a regular contributor to several poetry journals. He spent several years living a somewhat bohemian life, drifting between his hometown and Tokyo. During this time he explored his interest in Western philosophy and literature, and for a brief period he attended Christian churches. His lifestyle drew criticism from the Maebashi bourgeoisie, and his poetry includes many spiteful remarks about his native community. In 1916 he cofounded the magazine Kanjo with Muro Saisei, an author whose poems he greatly admired. The magazine featured a new style of modern Japanese poetry that was distinct from the highly intellectual poems that other magazines of the day were publishing. The following year Hagiwara published his first poetry collection, Tsuki ni hoeru (Howling at the Moon). The collection, which introduced Hagiwara's extraordinary talent for using colloquial speech in a free-verse style, gained wide critical acclaim and established his reputation as a significant new voice in Japanese poetry. He followed this success with several more volumes of poetry, criticism, and literary theory. Despite his high standing in the world of Japanese letters, Hagiwara relied on his family for financial support throughout his life. In 1919 he married Uedo Ineko, with whom he had two daughters. The marriage ended in divorce in 1929. His second marriage, to Oya Mitsuko in 1938, lasted only eighteen months. Much of Hagiwara's poetry conveys the isolation and loneliness that he felt, and his later works, particularly the poems in his 1934 collection Hyoto, are characterized by an increasingly despondent and nostalgic tone. He taught at the University of Meiji in Tokyo from 1934 until his death in 1942.
Major Works
Hagiwara's first poetry collection, Howling at the Moon, had a wide and immediate impact on the Japanese literary community. Although the collection contains some traditional tanka, many of the poems use colloquial language and are written in a loose, unmetered form. Hagiwara's success at elevating common Japanese speech to a poetic form was unprecedented. In this volume, commentators noted, Hagiwara essentially created a new aesthetic in modern Japanese poetry. In the preface to the work Hagiwara wrote: "Before this collection not a single poem had been written in colloquial language of this style, and before this collection the animation in the poetry one senses today did not exist." Critics also note that the poems in Howling at the Moon were among the first in modern Japanese poetry to address questions of existential anxiety. In the title piece Hagiwara likened the desperate psychological state of humanity to a lonely dog plaintively wailing at the moon. Throughout the collection Hagiwara created characters who are ridden with despair. Hagiwara's second collection of poems, Aoneko, achieved even greater critical acclaim than his first. The poems in this volume reveal Hagiwara's personal interest in the nihilistic philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer and the pessimistic ideology of Buddhism. The collection centers on abstract, metaphysical themes in which characters are nostalgic for times and places that they have never experienced. Hagiwara published a second "definitive" edition of this volume in 1936, in which he included the poem "The Corpse of a Blue Cat." The piece is a sad and nostalgic love poem in which time and memory are displaced. In it, the speaker says, "We have no past, no future, / And have faded away from the things of reality." Hagiwara's last major collection of poetry, Hyoto (1934), received mixed critical reviews. In this volume, Hagiwara abandoned his innovative use of colloquial Japanese and returned to writing in a more formal language in metered verse. The poems in the volume are set in a more realistic context, and they convey an over-whelming sense of despair and bitterness. In the autobiographical poem "Returning to My Parents' Home," for example, Hagiwara recounted the anger and rejection that he felt after his first wife left him. In addition to his poetry, Hagiwara was widely respected for his volumes on poetic theory. His most noted theoretical work, Shi no genri (1928), laid out his conception of what he contended should be the principal aims of poetry. In aphoristic statements Hagiwara asserted that poetry should strive to convey transcendental themes and be critical of reality.
Critical Reception
Critics agree that Hagiwara's poetry profoundly changed the face of modern Japanese poetry. His use of vernacular Japanese demonstrated that the language of the people could also be a poetic language, full of artistic depth and resonance. While other poets had attempted to write in the vernacular, the effect had always been that of everyday speech. It took Hagiwara's skillful use of words to prove that vernacular Japanese could in fact be used artistically in verse. His first collection, Tsuki ni hoeru (Howling at the Moon), met with enthusiastic critical acclaim and was recognized as a thoroughly modern expression of fear, a fear that Hagiwara described as a "physiological fear" that threat ens man's mental well-being. Another important contribution to modern Japanese poetry was his successful creation of a body of poetry motivated by the existential angst of a modern individual. Greatly influenced by Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, Hagiwara embodied the Western attitude of pessimism and despair. The bleak poetry of Howling at the Moon and Aoneho represented the first instance of Japanese poetry imitating modern Western philosophical ideas. His interest in free verse and colloquial language represented a watershed in modern Japanese poetry, and irrevocably brought the Japanese poetic tradition closer stylistically and philosophically to that of Western literature.

[In the following essay, Shults reviews Graeme Wilson's translation of Hagiwara's poetry in The Face at the Bottom of the World, and Other Poems.]
To most of us the dark vault of Asian literature would remain forever locked without the work of such men as the aviation expert, diplomat, scholar Graeme Wilson, one of that small band of occidentals literate in Japanese, a language that is often difficult even to those whose native tongue it is.
"Perhaps our greatest modern poet," said one Japanese scholar when asked about Sakutarō's work, "but difficult." Difficult is the word that best describes Hagiwara Sakutarō the man as well as the poet. A photograph, reproduced in the book, shows a thin haggard face, lank black hair, long nose, mouth with a trace of petulence, and head thrown back—an arrogant face. Wilson, in a long and informative introduction, traces the outline of Sakutarō's career. He was a sickly botchan (mother's darling) to the end of his days, unsuccessful as student, musician, and husband, financially dependent upon his father, an alcoholic, yet he did produce a considerable body of work before his death from pneumonia in 1942.
After an apprenticeship in the traditional tanka form, "suddenly in 1913, he began writing those...

[In the following essay, Tsukimura provides an analysis of Hagiwara's poetic techniques.]
Hagiwara Sakutarō had published over 200 tanka before he began his career as a poet writing in the free modern style at the age of twenty-seven. His earliest published compositions are five poems in the tanka form which appeared in 1902 under the general title "One Night's Bond" ("Hitoyo enishi") in the alumni magazine of the Maebashi Middle School where he was then a third-year student. In them, the young Hagiwara expressed his feelings for the beauty of Kyoto in spring:
Kamogawa samuki
haru no yoi
Kyo no obashima
hito utsukushiki
As I drift along to
the Kamo River, it flows cold
this spring evening,
lovely are the Kyotoans
by the railing.

Seeking the flower of
spring morning
I have wandered out onto this

[In the following essay, Sato offers an overview of Hagiwara's development as a poet.]
Hagiwara Sakutarō was born the first son of a prosperous physician in Maebashi, Gumma. Toward the end of his life Sakutarō described his birthplace as a "sanguinary, barbarous blank-paper zone utterly devoid of any cultural tradition," but to be fairer to reality, it was a place close enough to Tokyo for him to go there as he liked, yet far enough for him to yearn for "the city" until he finally moved there to live. Traditionally, the first son enjoys most of the family's attention, but in the case of Sakutarō the pampering was extreme. Once, when Sakutarō stubbornly clutched his friend's music box, someone was immediately dispatched to Yokohama to buy one of these rare and expensive imports for him. In bad weather, he was taken to school in his father's jinrikisha. His father's comfortable income supported this indulgence, but the real source was Sakutarō's mother, Kei. Her influence remained so strong that various elements throughout Sakutarō's life and his work cannot be considered without Kei: the equation of "mother" and "lover" in the poem "Rooster"; the sermons to women throughout his writings; the disintegration of his two mariages, his first wife eloping with another man and his second...

[In the following excerpt, Keene discusses the emotional characteristics of Hagiwara's poetry and his innovative use of colloquial language.]
Hagiwara is by common consent the chief figure of modern Japanese poetry. He is not an easy poet, and the exact interpretations of many works elude the exegesis of even his most devoted admirers, but his work both commands the respect of other poets and critics and is popular with the general public. The novelist and poet Fukunaga Takehiko gave a representative evaluation: "Hagiwara Sakutarō is the outstanding writer of Japanese modern poetry; it is a recognized fact that his works constitute the most beautiful crystallizations of the Japanese language."
Hagiwara was born in Maebashi, an unremarkable city famous chiefly for its gusty winds. He is known as a poet of nostalgia, and a number of moving poems are recollections of Maebashi; but these are essentially references to his own past, rather than affectionate descriptions of buildings or landscapes. Although imposing mountains are visible from Maebashi, and the nearby countryside was still beautiful in Hagiwara's youth, he frequently expressed his lack of interest in the country and his love of the crowds and...

Family historians will be able to access 21 million birth, marriage, and death records free of charge, on Thursday 24th of January.
Findmypast.com are hosting the inaugural "Irish History Family Day," to celebrate the launch of the records online.
The family history website will publish records covering the island of Ireland from the 1800's right up to the 1950's. Findmypast.com carries the most detailed and throrough collection of records ever seen in one place.
Cliona Weldon, General Manager at Findmypast.ie, said: "The addition of 21 million new birth, marriage and death records to our website on "Irish Family History Day" means we will now have more than 60 million Irish records on our website – including census and parish records – for people to easily navigate and discover their past, no matter where they are in the world. There has never been a better time for people to explore and discover the details of the lives of their Irish ancestors."
Births, marriages and deaths are central events in peoples' lives, people researching their family history can use these records to develop their family tree. Findmypast.com provides a fascinating insight into Ireland's history and it makes Irish family research much more easier and accessible than ever before.
They are also a proud partner of The Gathering Ireland, which is a year-long celebration in 2013 of Ireland and all things Irish.
"With so much attention on Ireland due to The Gathering Ireland, our website will prove a very useful source for the many millions of people with Irish ancestry around the world," said Weldon.
Findmypast.ie works with all the major stakeholders in Irish genealogy, such as Eneclann, the National Archives of Ireland and the National Library of Ireland. They also have an international reach through the findmypast family of sites.
"Irish Family History Day" is also being celebrated in countries around the world, countries including the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada.
Sorry I think it is outrageous that they expect to have a Gathering, but yet will not make the records available so that people can connect. I think at least they owe that to their Diaspora?
I and a lot of friends sat in anticipation of this 'event' but were sadly very disappointed! 21 million Irish records you can access free for one day? NOT free - you get 50 credits (5 to 10 searches) and NOT records - just an INDEX to the civil registrations.....which has been available free on other websites for a couple of years now. Sad :-(
I think you'll find all this information is already online for free and the only reason it's being celebrated in those other countries is because findmypast have online presence there. Alfie

The Kingman mine on Turquoise Mountain in Arizona is known for yielding a variety of turquoise colors. Set here in gleaming sterling silver in an intriguing diamond shape, genuine Kingman turquoise provides the centerpiece for classic, stylish earrings that youll wear with everything from jeans to a basic black dress. Earrings measure 1-1/2" long x 3/4" wide and have sterling silver lever backs. Mined and made in America.
Take a journey to the turquoise mines of Arizona with Carolyn Pollack's Newest collection. Set in 14K gold and sterling silver, these turquoise designs hail from two Arizona mines. While Kingman nuggets are bright blue and green with black matrix, Sleeping Beauty is a vibrant blue color with no matrix. Some pieces feature both types of turquoise creating a unique and natural look.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the natural gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

The Reno airport is surrounded by office parks, residential areas, and vast swaths of parkland. Many who land here quickly depart to California and Lake Tahoe for summer boating and winter skiing. The state border and the resort town of South Lake Tahoe are a little more than an hour's drive from the airport. Near the airport, Meadowood Mall stands as one of Reno's largest shopping centers.

The room was not very clean and the ceiling was falling down in the room. There were no non-smoking rooms available and no king beds. The hotel was going to refund us our money, but said they couldn't because it was booked through a three party, this is a big problem with Hotels.com so you can not get a refund unless you provide it.

"Smoke + mildew = smelly room"
This hotel is a former Quality Inn or some other old motel. The rooms are "drive-up", with access directly to the outside. I don't mind this set-up usually, but this motel was loud. Lots of Harley motorcycles driving around all night, lots of dogs barking at each other, lots of outdoor conversations. The room was of good size and the bed was comfortable, […] but I could hear my neighbor in his bathroom (clearly) from my bed and the smell of smoke was clinging to my clothes even after a few minutes. So much so that I put anything non-essential for the night back in the car. The bathroom had a strong smell of mildew (that I initially thought was urine) and there was mildew on the shower curtain and the grout in the "re-bathed" tub. The shower head was low enough that I could almost hit my head on it (I'm 5'2").

It was just like a Motel 6--thought it the room would be a bit better. Chose this hotel because they offered free breakfast and more importantly, free WIFI. The first day and night at hotel, we had no WIFI service. I was waiting for important work information, and could not access it on my laptop. Went to the desk, and she didn't do anything about it, […] but told us to call the tech number, which we had already done. We spent an hour trying to get WIFI with the tech guy on telephone, but the problem wasn't the computer (my daughter is a tech geek), it was with the service connection. 2nd day, we told the desk again. She sent the maintenance guy, and miraculously when we returned home that night we had WIFI. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

Eventually the manager "found" a room like the one I had paid for. […] It took a little bit but I got what I paid for. As for the room, it was large, clean and well equipped.

We stayed at the La Quinta Inn Reno on our way to California. The room was immaculate and the beds were super comfortable. They had pillowtop mattresses and we got a great night sleep. The location was great because it was easy to get on and off of the freeway and it was close enought to the strip to be able to get there quickly but far enough to be […] away from the noise and the crowds. Also, the complimentary breakfast went far beyond your simple continental menu of cereal and sweet rolls. They had a great variety, including do-it-yourself waffles. We would definitely stay here again in the future. The only small draw-back was that the surrounding neighborhood seemed a little bit run-down. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

It's easy to expect too much of a government-sponsored program whose mission is to fill in some blanks by an unspecified date.
Procedurally, Fayetteville's Hope VI business park off Gillespie Street is about where it should be at this stage.
A site has been selected. Property is being acquired. The city's $1 million investment (a condition of the original Hope VI deal) has been budgeted. A consultant recommends a mix of office, retail and "flex" space. There's even a conceptual drawing.
If that leaves you wondering who's going to occupy whatever buildings go up on the site, you probably have that in common with most members of the City Council.
It just isn't fill-in-the-blanks time yet. When will that be? Nobody knows, exactly.
None of this means that skeptics are out of line in asking what's being planned to entice what kinds of businesses to that particular address.
Ideally, both business owners and their employees would come from the Hope VI community across the way. But those are business decisions that don't lend themselves to resolution by ordinance.
If the city can't sell a coherent vision to the community and to business prospects, there goes the ball game.
The council is right to carry on with land acquisition, but there's a greater challenge waiting, one that overshadows the whole enterprise.

Let me -- to -- here FOX & Friends quarter till the hour now government regulations are sinking profits for New England fisherman.
With huge cutbacks on cod catches including a seven 7% reduction in the gulf of Maine.
And a 61% reduction in Georgia's bank many fisheries may not be able to stay afloat joining us now is one of the many who will be impacted.
-- -- -- commercial fishermen -- member of the New England fishery management council good morning to you thank you so much for joining us.
Good morning nice to be here and you're telling me date you essentially and could go out of business.
Because of these regulations that have just been put into place.
Yes this this comes on top of numerous other regulations that have been put into effect in the last thirty years.
As an example I believe I'll probably be able to fish and boat three days in total for the -- -- -- Well and for a lot of us who just like to eat the fish and we don't know a lot about the fishing industry you say that you actually can't -- some of these fish.
Without catching other fish explain kind of how the process works and and where all the red tape is coming prop.
Okay well the these Fisher what's called multi species complex which means there's a number different species that all swim together.
Ones that people would -- -- most familiar with a probably caught attic and various kinds of -- so the way the system works is you get an individual allocation of each species.
When you catch the one of which who have the least amount.
You're done for the year.
So not only was the -- cut by 77%.
But -- attic was cut by a number about the same flounders we'll cut by.
Numbers on the order of 50% says -- really going to be very little you're allowed to bring it.
So what's gonna happen and attacked the -- for your industry for you personally -- mean.
How many days a year you -- going to be evident -- that's out.
Well as I -- I think right now might projecting they haven't seen actual numbers from my vessel yet.
Is on the order of three days -- -- -- -- ethic that he five days.
That's correct.
So how does -- feel what the government stepping in time and time and time again.
Well I mean necessarily playing here on the part of the fishing community.
For a number reasons one is we we don't see the -- is being in that bad of shape.
A second -- There's something called the biological reference points which are basically -- targets you have to get through and we feel those have been set for.
A cold water regime and we're currently in a warm water regime -- our productivity is much less.
And when the council -- some members of the council had asked to have that examined.
That really hasn't been done so we think the targets that were trying to reach are unrealistic at the -- -- -- -- I got to play devil's advocate for a moment you know we we worry about mother earth and we want to make sure that we're being environmentally friendly.
Do you at least see the argument from the flip side.
Oh absolutely I mean it.
I always say if there's no fish they'll be no fisherman.
But there there are other ways to deal with this I mean there are ways that we could keep these small -- people such as myself.
Catching -- relatively small amounts of fish.
But we didn't have the time to explore any of those options so basically right this is a one size fits all management policy that's put into effect.
We devastating consequences for some people and not so much for others.
-- we're gonna have to leave it there thank you so much for your time and I understand you're just looking for a compromise on this.
Have a great day.

Plume at the Jefferson Hotel
Online Reservations
An exceptional experience from beginning to final expresso. The service could not have been better -- we felt welcome but not overhwelmed. The food was exceptional -- both the lobster thermidor and lamb were marvelous.
One of the best dining experiences in my memory. Impeccable service, wonderful food, and sublime ambience. My wife and I dined on my birthday. We had the tasting menu with premium wine experience. The meal started with a half-bottle of NV Krug Champagne and concluded with Chateau D'Yquem (the sommelier topped off both our glasses with more D'Yquem, by the way). Unhurried, unmechanical, elegant, gorgeous. Ask for Table 10. It's called the "Bookery" for its backdrop of library books. The table is lit by a historic chandelier from the hotel, circa 1840. We didn't want to leave! It's not inexpensive, but worth every penny, IMHO. Highly recommended.
For traditional, formal table service and a high-end menu (that is still approachable), going to Plume was a memorable experience. The restaurant has a few dining room areas. We were seated in the delicately soft light-filled atrium and it was gorgeous. We were there for a special occasion (birthday) and it was completely worth every cent. Plume offered two options: a 3-course fixed price menu or a tasting menu; we opted for the former. From beginning to end, the dining experience was perfection. All of this comes with a price, of course. This is not the sort of restaurant you might frequent regularly, unless you are wealthy. Certainly, it is a great spot to save up for something special. We are glad we did!
We had dinner with friends from DC. It was their first experience ant the Plume, and we all were very impressed. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Our group of four had a nice evening celebrating a graduation. Although the service was very attentive, I felt rushed and my companions considered it intrusive.
For the most part, the food was excellent from amuse-bouche, hamachi appetizer, to the lamb entree. The risotto was good but too salty. I normally look forward to dessert, but I was disappointed with the 2 chocolate desserts. They weren't dark enough. They were also flavored with orange & other fruits which I think is bad combination, but then that's based on my preference.
Great dining in a formal setting. Food was excellent as was the service. Perfect for an anniversary celebration.
This is what dining should be. A beautiful room. Excellent service. Interesting, perfectly prepared food. Expensive, but a value restaurant when you consider all that you receive. I will return on my next trip to DC.
Everything about this place was amazing. The only part that ticked me off was weather to get the prixe fixe or the tasting menu... I'll be visiting this place again so I can try the other next time.
But give the food/service/attention/dining experience a 10...
Hit all the right notes - excellent food, service, recommendations on wine, attentiveness, and in general a sophisticated elegance.
The food, atmosphere, and service was outstanding. It will now be my favorite restaurant for special occasions.
About the closest to perfection of any dining experience you will find. The food was excellent -- duck and beef were beautifully prepared -- the cheese offering was varied and a treat. The service was impeccable. If you want to celebrate a special occasion, the Plume should be your choice.
Beautiful space, Great service,huge and extensive wine list. Food was not up to the reputation...but everyone can have a bad night. Manager was kind and offered replacement for a main course of artichokes that was not edible and took the charge off the bill. Wine list is impressive and expensive.
Elegance defined. I can't remember when I have had a better dinner. The decor, the service, and the FOOD harkens back to dinners from years gone by, dinners which you rarely find in this day of small plate, loud, rush in and eat in a hurry places. Prime aged filet with a truffle sauce I can't begin to describe. A wine list 70 plus pages long. This is our new defacto anniversary restaurant.
Plume was the finest restaurant dining experience we have had. Went for an anniversary dinner and it exceeded our expectations across the board - food, drinks, wines, madiera and an amazing setting.
Elegant and comfortable. Ideal for a special occasion.
It was a very special dining expereince; all wait staff were attentive, but not too attentive to be intrusive and the wine steward, Michael was extrememly helpful.
We always like the very attentive service at Plume and love to come back for special occasions. Love that little stool for resting the ladies' handbag! Also love the sparkling water which is complementary. The appetizers were cooked nicely. The duck breast entree was very juicy and soft. For the dessert, Guanaja Chocolate tart and Iced Tahitian Vanilla and Praline Bar were great tasting. Again, loved the food! Service was well-timed and friendly.
Very expensive but worth it. Dinner at Plume was extraordinary. Almost all of the dishes on the tasting menu were stellar. (I thought the pate was only okay but the sole meunière ala Julia Child was especially amazing.) The wine pairings were mostly excellent--only one didn't hit the mark--although I'm not certain the additional $80 for the "premium" versus "classic" pairings was worth the difference. The wine steward did a nice job of describing each wine. Service was attentive and courteous but not overpowering. The timing of the courses was perfect.
we celebrated our 20 th Wedding Anniversary here. We could not have asked for more. the service, the food and the ambience were romantic, elegant and relaxing. It was a perfect balance of true sophistication without any pretension . The staff had great pride, enthusiasm and knowledge of the food, wine and their restaurant.
This is one of my favorite restaurants for special celebrations. Magnificent décor, quiet and elegant, impeccable friendly service and the best ,excellent food and an outstanding sommelier. Michael Scaffidi is one of the best sommeliers if not the best in town. His recommendations for wine pairing with the food were right on. This is a great asset when you face a wine list as huge as Plume's even if you are a wine connoisseur. This list featured recently in the Wine Enthusiast as one of the best amongst top rated restaurants.
Plume is an outstanding restaurant. We had the tasting menu and were happy with the decision.
We spent a delightful evening thanks to our server (Freedi) and of course, thanks to the amazing "cuisine". The food was excellent, the service matched perfectly with the ambience and the service seemed to be well managed. Special occasion or just for a romantic and/or fine dining experience, Plume will be the perfect fit for you.
So wonderful. If the couple had not had a loud fight over money would have been perfect meal. No reflection on restaurant. Actually points out how great it was because they distracted from our experience. Table in semi private courtyard was awesome. Felt like we had a private fountain until a fore mentioned couple arrived. Food was soooo good. Many combinations of exciting favors and textures. Excellent meal.
The food and atmosphere was outstanding. Likewise the service was impeccable. I would strongly recommend this location for a business dinner or a special occasion.
My wife and I were celebrating our 21st anniversary by staying at the Jefferson Hotel. We decided to just eat in the hotel. Plume offered a tasting menu and three coarse set menu. We both chose the three course set menu. The service was the best I have ever had. The staff was always present but never intrusive. Each course was perfectly prepared and served promptly. Both my wife and I chose the filet which was expertly prepared, accompanied by truffled potatoes. Plume is not for the frugal but worth every penny.
If your looking for a fine dining experience look no further. From the free Valet parking offered on your arrival, to the little goody bag of chocolates offered to lady diners as they leave. The staff at the Plume make the whole experience a special one. The charming dining room is well laid out offering enough space between tables for privacy and it exhudes a quiet ambience, which I love, making it easy to converse with each other. You have the choice of 2 menus a tasting menu or the fixed menu, we went for the fixed meal which came with amuse bouche, appitizer, entree, pre dessert, dessert & petite fours all for just $95 !!! we were amazed. Both the food and the service are fantastic and could not be faulted.
Let me start out by saying this was the best meal we ate in D.C. If you plan a trip then make sure you save up some extra cash to come here. The service was phenomenal and the food even better. From the appetizers-foie gras terrine for me and and heirloom tomatoes for my wife to the Dover sole and sea scallop entrees this was awesome. The wine was the best white burgandy I have had in years and even the cheese tasting paired with the extensive selection of madeira was unreal. When my wife tasted her cake I knew the place was special--if she says fantastic (being a trained chef) I know it's true. The price is steep but when you are so satisfied it is worth it. You even get sweets and a personally printed list of the wines you enjoyed.
Our experience at Plume was outstanding. Food was excellent. Service was top notch.
We stayed at the Jefferson Hotel and wanted to try their highly acclaimed restaurant,The Plume. We were not disapppointed. This is the finest restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of eating in. Everything about the restaurant was excellent. Food, service ambience, you name it, it was first class. I am from San Francisco and I cannot think of any restaurant in the City that would be classier
My family and I enjoyed a very good meal at Plume Restaurant this past week-end. Initially, we were seated in a remote alcove in the restaurant but felt "too" secluded and asked to be relocated which the staff did without hesitation. The food was tasty and given in generous portion size. They offered a vegetarian entree which my daughter ordered and found delicious. The wine list was complete in both wines by the glass and full bottles. We were especially impressed by the desserts. We were more than satisfied after our entrees but completely finished all the selections we made. This was the best meal I have eaten in the Washington D.C. area and recommend it be tried.
A delightful venue with outstanding good and service.
If you have a romantic evening you are trying to plan you can't go wrong. Lots of selections to choose from with their prix fixe menu. They include the chef's daily amuse bouche, appetizer, entree, pre-dessert, dessert, and a petit fours on the way out. Very attentive service and they even made my girlfriend's dessert extra special by acknowledging the note I put on the open table reservation that it was her birthday. We were going to walk over to Quill for a few cocktails (that was the plan) but my girl was full and getting tired so we left. We did walk over to see the lounge and bar area at Quill which looked very cozy would have been nice to enjoy a few drinks and a cigar. I would come back again.
I've been to Plume several times and dinner was always great, but this time it was more than that. From the foie gras poele' that the chef agreed to make for us even if it was not on the menu to the Dover sole to the incredible desserts, everything was just perfect. The service, as always, is professional without being neither stuffy nor too friendly, the ambiance warm and soothing. Every time I come to DC I make a point of having dinner at Plume. So should everybody else.
Wonderful dinner. Fancy but approachable. Great food and service.
What a wonderful evening. The Maitre d' Boone was awesome. Christian, the Captain did an amazing job of taking care of all our needs and the Sommelier, Michael paired our food with the most wonderful wines. I can't wait to go back!
This was a great experience for two tourists. It was a lot of fun to go to a traditional French restaurant with top notch food and service. We enjoy everything about our evening and didn't think the $350 tab was too outrageous for such a nice experience (we had 2 glasses of champagne, 1 bottle of wine + 1 dessert). My scallops were so delicious I could've licked the plate clean. The chocolates to take home were the icing on the cake.
Beautiful intimate dining room. Perfect for whispered conversations in a setting where you can seriously DINE. with excellent service
We had the most stunning, romantic meal at Plume. The cheese board was out of this world, and the whole meal was just amazing. To top it off I proposed during dessert to my girlfriend and she said yes! :-) Just a perfect evening
The food for every course was outstanding. The service was great. One of the best wine lists anywhere. Knowledgable and friendly staff. A real treat.
My wife and I dined here celebrating her birthday. We had been here before for brunch and tea, but this was our first dinner experience. I feel like there are a lot of mixed reviews about Plume, so my expectations weren't that high. I will say, though, that I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered off the $95 menu each getting an appetizer, main course, and dessert. My wife got the heirloom tomatoes and the thai curry duck, which were delicious. I was expecting the duck to be overwhelmed by the curry, but it was very subtle and what I felt was the right amount. I got the duo of hamachi tataki and tartare and the rabbit tasting both of which were also delicious. For a special occasion, we would return.
A quality restaurant with service to match. Exceptional service and an overall excellent dining experience.
One of the best dining experiences we have ever had.
Excellent food, exceptional wine list, outstanding service
The Plume is a very well appointed and special place. The staff is very attentive to guest needs. Menu is excedllent with presentation spot on. Desserts are exceptional and special requests are taken with a smile.
Food was excellent; the serving staff was knowledgeable about the dishes; service was attentive and prompt without being intrusive. The wines we had by the glass were not known to us but were very good and complementary to the food.
This was the best restaurant service I have seen in many years. It is classically elegant in both service and setting, with very good food and a very impressive wine list. Wonderful!
Wonderful evening of romantic dining! Wine pairings where excellent.
My wife and I came here for a romantic, special evening. We found the food to be absolutely delicious. There were a lot of flavors and textures to the dishes. Presentation and service were excellent. We left completely stuffed and delighted. From beginning to end, this was a wonderful experience.

Discovering Childhood
The child's home, community and the centre are not isolated entities but form an interactive unit. The saying – 'It takes a village to raise a child.' underlines the crucial role the community plays in nurturing children. Ankur seeks to democratise the community space for children and bring adults into the dialogue. It is a platform to bring children, parents and facilitators face to face to exchange notes and share mutual concerns.
Learning Centres an open space for children |
Gradually evolved over time, these centers are locations to celebrate the spirit of wonder, curiosity, inquisitiveness, spontaneity and self-creation. A philosophy of caring, invitation and nurturing animates the way we imagine and constantly remake these spaces. These are spaces where children meet with other children, and together and individually create learning experiences. |
Children's Club celebrating story telling |
A child is not an empty container to be filled by the learned adult. A child creates and connects world pictures; she can also narrate these as stories and is always eager to narrate them. The children's club strives to affirm their world, their life experiences – their stories. Children find an open floor to unload and unpack their imaginations, fears, restlessness, dilemmas and dreams. The club, a site away or between school and the home, gives children a space to value fun/play and freedom from the routines of school and home, give expression to their creative energy and help explore newer dimensions to their lives and learning. |
Library a community of active readers |
To access other narratives, world of ideas and knowledge, beyond the textbooks, remains an latent ambition of a child. To speak to this latent desire of a child, it is imperative to open a world that makes new connections, associations and meaning. The library to us is conceived by us as a site that creates a community of active readers, writers and debaters. Our libraries are not always silent spaces. It is transformed into an active space for sharing knowledge, experiences and creative thinking, a space where minds evolves to examine, discern, appreciate and participate in the world of books and ways of thinking. |

Our Cost Fitness Apparel Blowout!
Stock up on Fitness Apparel this weekend and save when you pay what we pay!
There are over 25 different shipping options and after trying five of them I canceled out my order. Some reason ground shipping is not available for the KS / MO region.
great deals.... shipping works in TN.
These deals are pretty good, just bought name brand stuff (Adidas and Puma) for like 20% of what it goes for in stores. Shipping for the two items I bought was $6.99. I could have gone with a slower $4.99 option if I wanted to OR I could have spent like $135 more dollars to qualify for free shipping!
I was only able to find one shirt in my size and the $4.99 shipping killed the deal. I wish my shoe size was larger and I would have been all over some of the shoe deals. Some sick prices there.
Don't know why, but I ordered an underarmor shirt. Cue eddy Murphy impression: Spandex! Everything Spandex!
Every option I tried for a shoe in my size or my son's size was out of stock. Why list the size if you don't have it?
