So I got it figured out.
In American checkbooks, I have pages to balance my account.
In Japan, they gave me a passport sized bank book. When at the ATM, I am supposed to insert the bank book, face up in a separate slot from my ATM card. Then when the transaction is finished, the computer inside types upon my bank book the transaction and ejects my bank book and cash card. I can request a receipt if I really need it.
To my delight, the ATM printed all of the transactions that I've made since my first deposit when I got here. So we're cool now.
I still have so much to learn about basic survival here...
