The Japan share market closed lower on Tuesday, 10 January 2017, dragged down by profit booking after yen appreciated to upper 115 yen level and concerns about Britain's plans to exit the European Union. The 225-issue Nikkei average fell 152.89 points, or 0.79 percent, to close at 19,301.44. The Topix index of all first-section issues finished down 11.01 points, or 0.71 percent, at 1,542.31. The Tokyo market was closed on Monday for a national holiday.
