I have been asked to help redesign a suite of web products in Japan, and
though I know something about the language and culture, I know nothing
at all about web use and usability in Japan. Can anyone recommend any
resources for me?
Thanks!

Joan,
Three books:
1.) The culturally customized website
2.) Beyond Borders
3.) International User Interfaces
I've read the first and wrote a summary of it on my blog:
http://jstrande.typepad.com/blog/2006/11/culturally_cust.html
(that post includes links to all three books mentioned above)
Hope this helps.
