Namaste Basudeb, first of all, welcome. Second, there aren't such things like stupid questions. Feel comfortable to ask whatever you want. :-) The point is, you would need a special program to display japanese. For the time being, FreeDOS in itself is only able to handle languages written with latin, greek, cyrillic, armenian and georgian scripts. Nevertheless, there is a japanese readme file (JP106.TXT) on the KPDOS pack. You'll find it here: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/keyb/kblayout/
Download the 22X package, which contains the library files. The 22S file is meant for users which intend to modify/develop their own keyboard layout files, which seems not to be your case. I hope that helps.
