Also, discussion of Japonisme

Japonisme 

(the term is said to have been first used in 1872) is the influence of Japanese art, fashion and aesthetics on Western culture.  The term is used particularly to refer to Japanese influence on European art, especially in impressionism.

Japonisme also had an effect on music. In 1871 Camille Saint-Saëns wrote a one-act opera, La princesse jaune, to a libretto by Louis Gallet, in which a Dutch girl is jealous of her artist friend's fixation on an ukiyo-e woodblock print. In 1885, Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera The Mikado  opened [and was immediately popular]. … Sullivan used a version of the song "Ton-yare Bushi" by Ômura Masujiro in The Mikado.Giacomo Puccini also made use of the same tune in his opera Madama Butterfly in 1904.

Madama Butterfly  is an opera in three acts (originally two) by Giacomo Puccini, with an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. The opera is based in part on the short story "Madame Butterfly" (1898) by John Luther Long, which in turn was based partially on stories told to Long by his sister Jennie Correll and partially on the semi-autobiographical 1887 French novel Madame Chrysanthème byPierre Loti. Long's version was dramatized by David Belasco as a one-act play, Madame Butterfly: A Tragedy of Japan, which, after premiering in New York in 1900, moved on to London, where Puccini saw it in the summer of that year.
