A 'Japanese' install is not really different from an english install
except that Japanise IME packages get installed by default and the
default language is set to Japanese.

Could you try cannastat yourself?
If it does not work as a normal user try it as root.
If it does not work as root try
"strace -econnect cannastat"

This is what I get for the last line:
|connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, path="/tmp/.iroha_unix/IROHA"}, 110) = 0
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This one is important.
|connect(4, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, path="/var/run/.nscd_socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
|connect(4, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, path="/var/run/.nscd_socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)


Lookup the pid of your cannaserver:

ps -efa | grep [c]annaserver

If it is not running start it and try again.
If it is running, lookup which files it has open:

lsof -n -p pid_of_your_cannaserver

This is what I get:

Here it is again
|cannaserv 23160 canna    5u   CHR     136,55               57 /dev/pts/55 (deleted)


This file (/tmp/.iroha_unix/IROHA) is a so-called unix domain socket,
which the two programs use to communicate.

If it was accidentally removed by a script, cannaserver will still have
it listed as an open file, but it won't be visible in the filesystem and
cannastat would not be able to find it.  Restarting cannaserver _should_
help in that case.
