TOKYO, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average rose 1.1 percent and hit a fresh five-month intraday high on Monday, after having risen last week on the back of short-covering and year-end portfolio tweaking by overseas investors.
The benchmark Nikkei was up 1.1 percent at 10,129.99, having touched a five-month intraday peak of 10,136.09.
The broader Topix index rose 0.8 percent to 876.25. (Reporting by Masayuki Kitano; Editing by Michael Watson)
