IBM has a pretty good size library of Kanji fonts, but that may not do you
much good unless you are using their printers. There are two other
possibilities: There are two fellows giving talks at the upcoming TUG
meeting at the U of W who are using Japanese TeX (JTEX). You could send
notes to them or see them at the TUG meeting if you'll be there.
They are:

       Nobuo Saito
       Keio University
       ns%kossvax.keio.junet%ccut.cc.u-tokyo.junet@utokyo-relay.csnet

and

       Yaski Saito
       NTT
       yaski%ntt-20@sumex-aim.stanford.edu
