Yes, I'd recommend "Sweet Jam". This is NOT Japanese word processor
but Japanese front end processor. This make it possible to treat KANJI
on English standard system. While Japanese word processors require
"Kanji Talk" (Japanese System) and Kanji font ROM. All Macintoshes
sold in Japan have Kanji font ROM. Latest version Kanji Talk requires
memories more than 2M bytes and Hard disk! :-) Moreover some softwares
from US will not run on Kanji Talk because of uncompatibality. 
Sweet Jam requires 1MB RAM and a 800K disk at least, 2MB RAM and HD
more than 20MB are recommended. With Sweet Jam, you can treat Kanji
on many software such as MacWrite, MacDraw, Excel, etc.

BTW, we Japanese are always sufferd from disk space for Kanji font
files. Do you know LaserWriter NTX-J has 40MB HD to keep outlined
Kanji fonts? :)
