Selling ahead, but the yen's strength is easing the decline.

The Nikkei average fell for 5 consecutive business days. It ended the trade at 36,215.75 yen, down 175.72 yen (with a volume estimate of 1.8 billion shares). Concerns about the slowdown in the US economy resurfaced following the release of the August US employment statistics on the 6th, causing selling to spread to Japanese stocks. In addition, the yen appreciated temporarily, with the dollar reaching the 141 yen level, which also had an impact.
