If you have a utf-8 system (i.e. the output of the "locale"
command shows UTF-8 suffixes) you could use, e.g., uim or scim.

Instructions here:

I use uim myself. The uim menu offers a "handwriting input pad",
but it doesn't seem to be implemented in Debian. So you just
have to use the "Japanese word processor method": type toukyou,
press space, get 東京.
