TOKYO, March 8 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average rose 2.1 percent to a six-week closing high on Monday, with exporters up on a weaker yen and resources up on commodity price rises, building on sentiment from better than expected U.S. jobs data.
Fujitsu Ltd, Japan's largest IT services firm, fell 2.7 percent amid a dispute with former president Kuniaki Nozoe over the circumstances that led to his abrupt resignation last year.
The benchmark Nikkei rose 216.96 points to 10,585.92, its highest close since Jan. 22, while the broader Topix rose 1.8 percent to 927.31. (Reporting by Elaine Lies)
