There is Canna:

    http://www.nec.co.jp/japanese/product/computer/soft/canna/
    ftp://ftp.nec.co.jp/pub/Canna/Canna35/Canna35b2.tar.gz

It is free software.

Whether it is widely accepted, I don't know. RedHat 6.2J uses it.

I used Wnn4 previously and currently I am using mainly Canna.  From
the user point of view there doesn't seem to be much difference. Both
work reasonably well.
