What investments have done well in Japan since the stock market peak in 1989?

The Japanese stock index, the Nikkei 225, peaked on December 29, 1989 at 38,915.87.  Over 30 years later it is still below the peak at 28,400.  Have any sectors within the Japanese stock market produced a positive return over this same period?  What was the EPS of the Nikkei 225 in 1989 and what is it today?

Interest rates on Japanese treasuries hit 6% in early 1990. If somebody held 30 year bonds your essentially risk-free investment would have nearly sextupled during a period where inflation increased about 15%.
