Japanese kanji do not use the same radicals as traditional Chinese characters; they have their own system of 214 radicals that are used primarily for organizing kanji in dictionaries. While some radicals may overlap in meaning, the Japanese system has developed independently over centuries

@shortstories Slop is wrong. They're basically identical except that they independently simplified the characters. Chinese did a much broader sweep in their simplification, while in Japanese tends to use traditional characters. I frequently look up Japanese characters in a Chinese dictionary without issue, because the dictionary is aware of the traditional characters that were simplified.
