"Japanese (Anthy)" does not show up as an input method. There are a
variety of entries (which are present regardless of whether ibus, anthy,
or ibus-anthy are installed), and none of them mention "Anthy".

When I select one of the Japanese language input methods via the above
method (e.g., the one that's just called "Japanese"), I do in fact see a
little icon in the upper right that I can toggle between "en" and "ja"
using <Super>+Space. However, this just seems to shuffle around the
keymap for my keyboard. It does not actually let me input any kana or
convert anything into kanji.

I hope we can get it working! Thank you for your assistance.
