Tokyo stocks closed 1.41 percent higher on Tuesday, as a weak yen helped boost the market which surged last week following a return to power for the country's conservatives.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index gained 140.06 points to 10,080.12, while the broader Topix index of all first-section shares was up 0.64 percent, or 5.29 points, at 838.01.
