One question about international economics?



Consider an economy like Japan,which exports manufactured goods and imports raw materials and agricultural products.If there is a war in the Middle East reduces the supply of oil,analyze the impact of this event on Japans's terms of trade.

So I got the answer that the terms of trade decreases.
But I really didn't figure out why.
I'm really appreciated the help.
