Though Japan is importing about 95% of its oil from Islamic countries, the understanding of the Islamic culture is still quite vague for the Japanese. In this program we will invite Professor Sakurai, one of the leading researchers on Islamic finance, to talk about its history, background and its potential in order to understand Islamic culture.
