TOKYO, June 16 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average rose 1 percent on Monday, with exporters such as Kyocera Corp (6971.T) higher on a weaker yen and after U.S. data eased concerns on Wall Street about inflation and a near-term rise in interest rates. As of 0001 GMT, the benchmark Nikkei .N225 gained 144.50 points to 14,118.23, after having lost 3.6 percent last week.
