Iran wants Japan to pay for oil with yen because they are afraid of seizer of its asset by U.S.
The reason that U.S or EU suspect Iran dvelops its nuclear skills to wepon makes Japan reduced oil importing from Iran, but the amount of it ia accounyed with 11%.
Thanks to Irans offer, the rate of yen may rise, and they will begin to use it frequently .
I belive Japan should think a great deal of the relation with Mideast countries as buziness partners instead of U.S or China because of their oil , largeness of population and so on.

Daiso, which is famous for selling all items for 100Yen, is popular in Mideast.
Although Daiso's goods are very cheep for Japanese, they are more expensive in Mideast countries. The reason why Daiso is popular in Mideast high qualities make Mideastern satisfy.

Qatar Airways has the plan to fly to Tokyo directly because Osaka - Doha flight has increased since three years ago. Qatar is the one of the richest countries in the Middle East. And for Japanese, Doha is famous for "The Tragedy in Doha" or a loss in the heat of 1994 World Cup.
For the people who are interested in Arabic culture like me, it is good news to go to the Middle East countries. And we can expect that Qatar's' much "oil money" come Japan more easily before.

Japan Rated Tops For Innovation
(2007.05.17 Japan Times)
According to Economist magazine, Japan is the most innovative country in the world.
The study ranked Japan, Switzerland, the United States, and Sweden as the top four innovators.
The main reason why the study evaluate Japan as the most innovative country is that: Japan's population is 42% of that of U.S., its ratio of patents per million population is 3.5 times higher than U.S..
A resource-poor country like Japan has no way to live except innovation. Of course the foundation of the rapid growth of the Japanese economy was innovation.
The study predicts that these ranks of top four countries will not change, but China, which is catching up with Japan or other innovative countries will be higher ranked country.
