This does not answer your question directly, but you may be interested
to know of a study that has systematically investigated the anatomical
differences between the brains of European and Japanese subjects. You
may find some leads from this paper. Here is the reference:
Zilles K, Kawashima R, Dabringhaus A, Fukuda H, Schormann T,
'Hemispheric Shape of European and Japanese Brains: 3-D MRI Analysis of
Intersubject Variability, Ethnical, and Gender Differences.' Neuroimage

With best wishes,
