The Japanese language is made up primarily of 3 components, namely:
- Kanji, æ¼¢å—
- Hiragana 平仮å
- Katakana　片仮å
The Kanji component is based on the Chinese Han Zi æ±‰å— but in the traditional format, or complex form, as opposed to the modern simplified format. Currently Beijing advocates simplified format while Taiwan advocates complex format. The complex format appears to be used less commonly used nowadays in the world.
However, over time, some Chinese characters have changed or have fallen into disuse, whereas Japan may have continued to use those very characters no longer in use by the Chinese, resulting in the modern day version of Kanji, which contains many characters that are now different from their original Chinese precedents, and thus becoming a unique component of Japanese Language, found no where else.

Japanese is the early stage of Chinese?
No - Japanese and Chinese are completely different languages - Chinese is a mono-syllabic tone language, and Japanese is a language where most words are multi-syllabic. China had developed a script thousands of years ago, before scholars and monks brought the Chinese script to Japan (around the year 400? - I am not sure). Then a peculiar way of writing in Chinese and pronouncing it in Japanese ("kan-bun") was developed in Japan, before abbreviated Chinese letters {"characters") were created with phonetic values corespoding to the Japanese system of syllables; These "letters" are the present day hiragana and katakana syllabaric letters, which are mixed in the same sentence - even the same word - witth Chinese characters. So both languages are completely different, but Japanese has a mixed writing system using also Chinese letters - and in the course of history, many Chinese words were introduced into the Japanese language - written with Chinese letters and pronounced in Japanee phonetics. Sorry - it is a long explanation - but the facts are quite complex.
