Have you installed uim-tomoe-gtk.  This is the GUI frontend of Tomoe
(handwriting recognition algorithm, http://tomoe.sourceforge.jp) for
uim.

Sorry about the lack of the information about Tomoe.  I'll add some
notes on Tomoe at fd.o's wiki later.

Please just install tomoe-0.5.0, libtomoe-gtk-0.5.0, and
uim-tomoe-gtk-0.5.0.  After the installation, clicking "Hand" button
should launch the hand writing input pad.
