KanjiTalk, Apple's Japanese system software, should be available from
APDA for about $15. It probably requires at least 2 megs of RAM to
run (I run it on a II with 4 megs with no problem). Any standard word
processor can be used in conjunction with it; KanjiTalk can
dynamically convert any Romaji you type into Kana, and then to Kanji
if an equivalent form is found.  However, it does not bestow the
ability to wrap text from right to left, or vertically.

Alternatively, you can get EGWord or EGBook, which were designed as
Japanese word processors.  You still need to use KanjiTalk.

The following information is from Mark Newton-John, posted on rec.arts.anime:

For Macintosh:
The Original Japanese word processor for Macintosh. Romanji to
kana, kanji conversion. Different font types and sizes. More than
6000 characters, with a 49,000 word dictionary. Uses Kanji Talk 2.0
Requires 2Mb     $499.00   (This is EW+)

(Oops, that should be EG Word, not EW+)

EG Book/EG Word
 EG Book is a desktop publishing program for Macintosh. WYSIWYG
with vertical/horizontal format. Different fonts and styles,
graphics capabilities. Compatible with EG Word, which is included.
Also uses Kanji Talk 2.0. Requires 2Mb and 2 drives.

Rats, I didn't write down the price of EG Book/EG Word, but I think
it is $799. The brouchure says Y98,000, which is pretty close. EG
Word is Y59,800
