I haven’t test it with japanese language, but it works with some other languages like portuguese with special characters:

Add this on your settings.py

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'app.models.ASCIIFileSystemStorage'

And your app.models.ASCIIFileSystemStorage

# This Python file uses the following encoding: utf-8
from django.db import models
from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage
import unicodedata

class ASCIIFileSystemStorage(FileSystemStorage):
    """
    Convert unicode characters in name to ASCII characters.
    """
    def get_valid_name(self, name):
        name = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', name).encode('ascii', 'ignore')
        return super(ASCIIFileSystemStorage, self).get_valid_name(name)

Your error is raised by the os.stat(path) call, which means your filesystem doesn’t support japanese characters (actually it probably only support either ascii or some latin-xxx or windows-yyy encoding).

You have mainly two solutions here: either configure your system to use utf-8 everywhere (which is IMVHO a sane thing to do anyway), or make sure you only use your system encoding (or just plain ascii) for filesystem names etc (cf leeeandroo’s answer).

add encode utf-8 then it can accept most languages
also to the templates html use charset utf-8

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- in at the top the file

<meta charset="utf-8"/> in html templates

edit:
please read official doc or add this line 

 from __future__ import unicode_literals
