I was watching The Last Samurai yesterday, and I spotted a major error. I don't know for sure but I would be safe to say that the telephone was not invented in 1876-77

One scene in the movie when the samurai's were ridding on horseback to town (Japan). The camera panned down and in that scene you can see (Clear as day) telephone polls with mass telephone lines. I don't even think that eletricity was being used as we know it in todays world.

Any history buffs out there that can confirm when this for sure?
