I recently learned the Japanese Foreign Ministry adopted Bolton's Telegraph Code (1871) in 1880. It was about the time when major cities in Japan came to be connected by telegraphy.
I added this note to "Nonsecret Code: An Overview of Early Telegraph Codes" and "日本の電信暗号".
According to John McVey's website, a copy of the codebook is in the British Library.
