multiple charsets per server?

[Vivek Khera]

I need to do some tests for a client involving japanese text.  I've
recompiled the server with extra charsets = complex to have multi-byte
support.

I see how I can select the default charset upon startup.  How can I
tell mysql that a particular set of tables (or the whole DB) should
use the japanese charset while leaving the other tables and DBs alone
(using default Latin1)?  Is this possible withour running multiple
instances of mysqld?
