Tokyo stocks closed higher Monday on the back of a solid lead from Wall Street late last week and China's strong retails sales data for December, but gains were erased by profit-taking after the Nikkei briefly hit a one-month high.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average added 53.26 points, or 0.26 percent, from Friday to close the day at 20,719.33.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, gained 8.78 points, or 0.56 percent, higher at 1,566.37.

Oil and coal product, mining, and marine transportation-linked issues comprised those that gained the most by the close of play.
