Japanese stocks fell on Friday in thin trade as a stronger yen and retreating oil prices sapped the risk appetite.
The Nikkei share average ended 1.4 per cent lower at 15,967.17, but was still up 6.8 per cent for the week after suffering a sizeable 11.1 per cent decline the previous week.
The broader Topix declined 1.5 per cent to 1,291.82, with only 2.29 billion shares changing hands, the lowest level since late January. The JPX-Nikkei Index 400 slipped 1.4 per cent to 11,688.54.
