I got a lend from a friend this morning, I found I already had some
Japanese fonts installed as part of X so it was just a matter of 
installing the ja-locale along with kinput2 and canna. Thanks I'm
up and running now and can read and type Japanese with X. Cool. I'll
probably have to change a couple of other things but the main stuff
is working.

Thanks to everyone for the hints.

Tom.
