Japanese share market finished the session down on Thursday, 05 February 2015, dragged down by profit booking amid mounting concerns over Greece's debt talks with its creditors after the European Central Bank said it would no longer accept Greek sovereign bonds as collateral. Meanwhile, lower oil prices, a weaker dollar, and disappointing earnings report from Hitachi also weighed heavily on the market. The benchmark Nikkei Stock Average declined 1% to close at 17504.62, while the broader Topix has lost 0.5% to close at 1410.11.
