The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average dropped 223.35 points, or 1.16 percent, from Friday to 19,060.19.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, lost 18.12 points, or 1.17 percent, to 1,532.02.
On the main section all industries retreated into negative territory by the morning break, with the biggest decliners comprising mining, insurance and bank-linked stocks.
