  Description     : Postal code data in Japan

Postal code data in Japan.  Key is postal code (zip code) and value is
a part of address.

See following pages for Japanese addressing system and postal code:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_addressing_system
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_codes_in_Japan

It is usual for Japanese input system (Kana-Kanji conversion) to help
inputting address.  Currently, we have duplicates of postal code data
among input systems, such as SKK, Anthy, Canna, and others.  We expect
maintainers of those packages to use this package.
