If the BOJ intervention is sterilized, it would not be effective in increasing domestic money supply. I am assuming the intervention was unsterilized. Found this recent article on the subject: frbsf.org Quoting: "if leaving the interventions unsterilized left the public more convinced about the BOJ’s determination to stimulate the economy, then sterilization, or the lack thereof, may indeed matter." I believe Japan is trying to convince its citizens that there will be inflation in the future.
