Not what you ask for, but if your goal is exercising yourself, then
there should be plenty of technical documentation available both in
English and Japanese. Ok, maybe not so plenty, but still. Depending on
your OS, but on mine I can do this:
apt-cache search japan | sort | less
and on different terminal:
apt-cache show developers-reference-ja
(and...)
This package contains the Japanese translation of Debian Developer's
Reference (package: developers-reference), a set of guidelines and
best practices which has been established by and for the community of
Debian developers and maintainers. If you are not maintaining Debian
packages, you probably do not need this package.
(... and so on)
Quickly going throu the list, I have spotted things like:
debian-faq-ja, debian-kernel-handbook-ja, manpages-ja-dev
I am unable to assess the quality, however.
Likewise, your favorite programming language should have Japanese
section, perhaps?

Not hardware, alas, but maybe this...
