mahou bushu

The mahou.org radical select page for viewing kanji by bushu has proven more useful than I expected.

The 214 bushu page found at about.com is also useful, but rather different.  For example, at mahou.org I am able to treat take (bamboo) as a radical.

There is a terrific bushu page at denshi jisho which also allows multiple component radicals to be selected when looking for kanji. Once you have a set of results, you can click on each or mouse-over (if you have the Perapera dictionary plugin enabled - or a similar add-on.)

JLPT Study

I have added a link to post-2010 JLPT materials today - it has options for kanji, grammar and more under its Lists item on its left-side panel.

That link is near the bottom of my kanji page in the compounds section as an "alternate" link.
