Do you have a pet that doesn't obey you? Does it still disobey you no matter how mad you get? Maybe you need to find a better way to communicate with it.
Sometimes people try to discipline their horses by hitting them, but that doesn't always work. It hurts the horses, and some horses still won't obey.
This man is a horse whisperer. Horse whisperers are people who think that they have a special ability to understand what horses are thinking and feeling. Instead of needing to hit the horses, they can make the horses understand what they want them to do by looking at them, speaking to them and petting them in a special way. The man in this picture is trying to communicate with this horse by whispering in its ear.

即使你認為對馬兒說話很蠢,許多人都說對馬兒輕聲細語真的有用。你認為這匹馬明白那男子想告訴牠什麼嗎? (翻譯︰賴美君)

Handing down a name over generations is a central part of the Japanese traditional theater art of Kabuki, and that ceremony gets celebrated at theaters and special events every few years. Now, the ritual is taking place with the eighth Kikugoro, who is having that honor passed down from his 83-year-old father, the seventh Kikugoro, who in turn got that name from his father. “Taking on the name is about taking on the spirit and responsibility that’s created and getting passed down over generations by those who came before us,” the younger Kikugoro, Kazuyasu Terajima, told reporters recently.
