The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was down 0.31 per cent, or 85.23 points, at 27,565.61 in early trade, while the broader Topix index slipped 0.29 per cent, or 5.65 points, to 1,924.52.
US stocks closed out the trading week on a down note on Friday, as early gains from a jobs report that showed a labor market that may be starting to loosen gave way to worries about the European gas crisis.
