Maria, justification in Fop is based around the notion of having an (elastic) space between words (pretty much how justification works with Western languages in your typical word processor). I assume in your text there are no spaces between the characters and therefore Fop doesn't have anything it can adjust. You may try and put a ZWSP (Unicode U+200B) between your Japanese characters.
The actual XSL-FO specification is pretty vague when it comes to justification. It just says: The actual justification algorithm used is user agent and written language dependent. Personally I have no idea what the usual typesetting conventions are when it comes to justifying Eastern scripts and I assume that applies to the majority of developers working on Fop and we would all love help in that area.

I tried this with and without font metrics file. Does FOP not support justified print in Japanese (and Chinese, Korean?) or is there something I am doing wrong? I include a zip-archive with a small dummy text-xml, the fo-file and the PDF outcome. Thanks for any help!
