Watari Etymology
Keywords: Go term
I have been wondering why the concept of connecting underneath is called Watari in Japanese. So, I did some quick research: "Watari" may mean ferry or over in english. However, in the manga of Death Note by Tsugumi Oba and the Hikaru-no-Go-artist Takeshi Obata, there also is a character named Watari which is somehow connecting between a famous detective and the public. Is this a coincedence? --firelordzuko
