This for sure is not literature -- but I thought I mention it
anyway, given how important Chinoiserie and Japonism were for upper
class arts and art collectors in Europe and North America, but that
there was never anything like Koreanism -- this is as close as you
get:


  "Die Braut von Korea" (The Bride from
Korea)
  a ballet from 1897
  Music: Joseph Bayer (1852-1913), choreography: Josef
Hassreiter

The ballet was performed 38 times between 1897 and 1901 at the
Wiener Hofoper (Vienna Court Opera)--that was the time when Gustav
Mahler was the director there.




Best,
Frank
