TOKYO, June 15 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei stock average edged down 0.4 percent on Monday, with tech shares such as Advantest Corp down in the wake of losses by their U.S. peers and oil-linked shares weaker after crude prices ebbed. The benchmark Nikkei lost 38.14 points to 10,097.68 after closing above 10,000 on Friday for the first time in eight months. The broader Topix edged up 0.1 percent.
