Thanks to this advice I got down and dirty with my locales. I used localedef to create the ja_JP.UTF-8 locale; created 02locale in /etc/env.d/ did and env-update and a source /etc/profile rebooted and things looked different, but still didn't quite work. I changed the font setting on putty to MS Mincho:Japanese and now things seem to work.
This is really great. Thank you again.
