Accepted answer
There are ferries between at least these points, China on the left, Japan on the right:
- Qingdao - Shimonoseki
- Tianjin - Kobe
- Shanghai - Osaka
- Shanghai - Kobe
- Suzhou - Shimonoseki
Here's some other links with overviews and details:
- Seat 61
- Lonely Planet Thorn Tree
- Randy's Japan Page
- Shanghai Ferry Boat "Xin Jian Zhen"
- Overview of Japanese Ferries
Oh and I almost forgot my favourite! If by "mainland Asia" you want to include Siberia, there is even a ferry from Sakhalin to Hokkaido!

Alternatively, you could take the ferry from Tianjin to Incheon (South Korea), spend some time in Korea, wind your way down to Busan, and then take the ferry to Japan from there. See this excellent post for information on the ferry to Japan from Korea.
I recently met a German guy in Korea who was traveling around the world without airplanes, and that's what he did.
