TOKYO, Sept 19 (Reuters) - The Nikkei average hit a
four-month closing high on Wednesday, after the Bank of Japan
eased monetary policy to bolster an export-driven economy
struggling with sluggish global demand and fallout from a
territorial dispute with China.
    The Nikkei climbed 1.2 percent to 9,232.21, its
highest closing level since early May, while the broader Topix
 index gained 0.9 percent to 764.80.
