re: public-domain Kanji font

Although I know of no such public domain font,
you may want to read the "Favoring Kanji" article in the
January 1986 issue of BYTE magazine (page 381) by William M. Raike.

The upshot of the article is that many good Japanese language
word-processing machines are now being marketed, for under $2000.
(There is now a Japanese language Macintosh called the DynaMac selling
for about $4575 according to this article!)

The only obstacle (if you have the money) is that they are only sold in
Japan at present.

Hope this helps you out!
