Aaaah...  I read your text again.
I figure that they would accept a Japanese English professor (specialized in
grammar only) from a famous university with the institution's hanko.
Never mind how literate/illiterate he or she might be or not as long as the
university's name is visible.
A foreign professor might be OK too... if a Japanese chap co-signs!:-)
