Learning Kanji with WaniKani anki cards. Is this correct? (lemmy.ca)

I'm lerning kanji using WaniKani and a set of cards for Ankidroid for offline use. They are giving these weird names to kanji and radicals and I was wondering if those were correct? I feel like I'm learning the wrong names for these characters or their meaning... This is just one example. I came across another one called "mohawk". That doesn't make sense to me. Or am I missing something? Is it a learning technique?

I've never used wani kani, but a commonly used memory technique for learning kanji radicals involves giving them names which can then be used to create stories to help you remember other kanji when they are combined together. There is probably some additional information associated with this deck that you are missing. But no, it doesn't actually mean Mona Lisa.
