TOKYO, Nov 22 (Reuters) - The Nikkei average rose almost 1 percent to a fresh five-month closing high on Monday, as receding worries about the yen's strength encourage a shift back to Japanese shares led by foreign investors.
The benchmark Nikkei ended the day up 0.9 percent at 10,115.19, its highest close since June 21. It touched a five-month intraday high of 10,157.97 in the afternoon session.
The broader Topix rose 0.7 percent to 875.48. (Reporting by Chikafumi Hodo; Editing by Chris Gallagher)
