Japanese stocks closed mixed on Monday, as a weaker yen and buying of retail-related stocks helped pare losses in early trade due to profit-taking.
The Nikkei index rose 0.1 percent to 39,276.39 points after falling at the start of the session.
The broader Topix index fell 0.5 percent to end trading at 2,740.6 points.
