Japanese kanji is not identical to Chinese: some are common with Simplified Chinese, some differences are very minor but some words have been simplified in a way that is unrecognisable to Chinese eyes. The Japanese kanji currently in use are listed here in stroke order with the corresponding traditional Chinese character (hànzì). These characters are used not only Japan but also in Taiwan (but not in Hong Kong, Singapore or Malaysia). This list is not complete!
This list probably exaggerates the differences between the two. In some cases kanji merely formalises common shortforms. The equivalent in English would be 'nite' appearing in a dictionary as the correct spelling for 'night'.
