Traditional Asian influenced Metal?

Is there any Metal influenced by traditional Asian music (preferably East Asian)?

Or are there any bands/songs/albums that use Traditional East Asian instruments such as the Yangqin, Shamisen or Shakuhachi?

off the top of my head

Chthonic - Tai Black Metal with use of an Er-hu (chinese violin)

and the band ThanatoSchizO has a wide variety of influences, but I believe on the song Patheon (as in Strip-Tease) on their album Schizo Level uses the Chinese zither (forget the actual name).

Thats all I can think up for now, I'll see if there's anything else I've forgotten.

God of Shamisen is a band that features the Shamisen, and mixes other genres into it, some of their songs incorporate metal into their music, for example the song Ray Bradbury Attack.

God of Shamisen and Cthonic were pretty cool. I couldn't find the song Pantheon though.
