In the past five years, a number of famous Western brands have been forced to close up shop after failing to catch on in Japan, one of the world’s largest--but most variable--consumer markets.

It has taken an initial 6.1% stake in ailing food-and-clothing chain Seiyu Ltd. , which it can raise to a controlling 33.4% by year end and to 66.7% by 2007. That gives Wal-Mart time to revise its strategy or run for the exits.

C. Seiyu depends in large measure on Wal-Mart for surging profits.
