If you are looking for actual "modern" eastern philosophy and not the traditional religious-tinted texts, I recommend the various Japanese philosophers of the Kyoto School (Nishida, Tanabe, and others). And while you could argue that he wasn't really part of that "school", I recommend Watsuji Tetsuro, especially if you like Ethics (admission: my Masters Thesis was partly about him and his Ethics of Trust. Good stuff but his "Rinrigaku" hasn't fully been translated AFAIK so finding it in English is possible(http://www.amazon.com/Watsuji-Tetsuros-Rinrigaku-Japanese-Philosophy/dp/0791430944), but not complete.).
You can get a great overview in books by James Heisig and John Maraldo, of which I strongly recommend http://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Philosophy-Sourcebook-James-Heisig/dp/0824835522 (though their Rude Awakenings was nice too).
As for the other Asian countries, I second some of the suggestions such as the Tao Te Ching, Chuang-tzu, Upanishads, Ramayana, the Gita, the Analects and so forth. They are rich and relevant even in the limited modern philosophical schools in those countries. Skip Alan Watts though...unless you like your Philosophy through the lens of the late 60s.
