Earthquake Resistance



Japan has not really been made beautiful by mankind, sad to say. There are buildings of true beauty, both old and new, but they exist in an ocean of nondescript sad monotony. One troubling (to me) aspect is the plethora of wiring that obscures the sky everywhere!
I finally realized that the imperial government had decided on the country's unique defense against earthquakes; Just tie everything together with wires and then earthquakes won't have a chance!
Problem is, I don't think it works. Remember Kobe?
