It's not looked down on, but--as in some other countries--some parents still try to change their children's handedness to make it easier in their lives. Writing (especially with brushes), eating , and using some items such as scissors and "kyusu" teapots with spouts on the side, can be difficult for lefties.

This isn't done, apparently, as much as it once was. Some famous southpaw sports figures have increased the positive image of left handers, there has been some talk of developmental problems with changing kids' handedness, and there have recently been some products marketed that are specifically designed for use by left handed people.

Left-handed Japanese friends have told me that it's especially difficult to learn to write kanji (Japanese characters) left-handed, since they were developed for brush writing with the right hand, and the directions of the strokes assume right-handedness.
