That's the approach of GTK2: you only specify a fontset and the underlying 
Pango subsystem works out which font to use. In the case of 'sans', you're
actually using a fontset alias. Aliases are defined in
/etc/pango/pangox.aliases (at least that's where it is on RH9). Pango then
attempts to resolve that to an actual font, depending on your required size,
charset, etc.

So, it sounds like you need to add your JP fonts to Pango's configuration.
