Sounds like the classic setup issue: AFAIK you need to go to the
Language Settings (Tools/Options) in OO general language options, and
enable Asian languages and choose Japanese (if you want a default as
well). Then restart OO, and go to OO Writer options where you should
now have a new option called "Asian fonts (basic)", and choose some
Asian fonts there.
