This is a layout for typing in Japanese 日本語. Supports words in all 3 scripts (Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana).

First ensure you have plum installed. For macOS this would be:

cd ~/Library/Rime
wget https://git.io/rime-install

Then install gkovacs/rime-japanese using plum:

bash rime-install gkovacs/rime-japanese

Finally edit default.custom.yaml and add japanese to the schema list:

patch:
  schema_list:
    - schema: japanese

Now reload RIME and it should appear under your layouts.
