While this confused the enemy they knew this was nothing more than flash in Japan.

I can't tell if that's an actual Japanese sentence with a pretty high loan word content or a sentence written phonetically of a stereotyped Japanese accent...
I used Google translate. I can't say if it's totally correct, but the loanwords appear to be on point. It refused to even translate "Flash" into katakana.
I would word it a bit differently and make it more "samurai-y", but the basics are there.
rather literally: Flash content (direct object marker) display method (particle) doing(but), flash plugin installed wasn't.
I would probably do something like フラッシュ内容のものを観てみるが、フラッシュがインストールされていません。
and play with it to sound more old-timey and samurai-i (which I failed to do just now so you only get the above). I am not a native speaker and, arguably, not even a good one, so take that for whatever it's worth.
Edit: I actually was trying to find out why 'Flash' was actually called that and can't find an authoritative answer. I wanted to do some creative lyrical stuff which with words to use as flash (電光石火 for example is flash as in 'like a flash', but there's 閃く which is a normal verb meaning to flash in the visual (non-perverse) sense).

I can confirm since I was the samurai!
And triggered bad memories about Java applets and plugins.
Probably originally said “Sonata”. Which is a polite archaic way of saying “you over there”
