Trust the Japanese to come up with something pretty amazing for earthquakes. I can really see this working and being perfected. Traditional earthquake proofing seems to be more about securing structures. One of our neighbours in Victoria has had her house bolted to the foundation at a very significant cost. In our area the houses are pretty much all on rock and are wood frame so apparently will do quite well and just kind of sway. Let's hope we don't have to find out anytime soon.
