It does not list the wattage, at least not in western characters. There

in Japan. I will probably change the electrical guts to accept a
standard two-pin 21 inch tube.

That would be easy enough to do. You can get electronic ballasts now
which are very compact. All you need is a ballast and suitable sockets,
probably easiest to buy a whole fixture.
