For Japanese you'll undoubtedly want to be using utf-8 instead of
iso-8859-1. Try adding the following near the beginning of your
local/config.php file:
include_once('scripts/xlpage-utf-8.php');
This will tell PmWiki to use UTF-8 for things, and then the japanese
text will be preserved as japanese text in the edit form.
Some of your existing japanese text may have to be converted to utf-8,
but that will be easier now (when it's just a few pages, or in the
template) than later.
