Japan's Nikkei share average rose on Tuesday as markets reopened after a holiday and investors seized on bargains following the gauge's steepest weekly selloff in more than a year.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 advanced 3.26% to close at 66,232.19, recovering part of its 6.4% plunge last week. The broader Topix climbed 2.44% to 4,014.95.
