Earth quake Isolation system

Last week we visited Miraikan - Science and Technology Innovation centre at Tokyo. It was an amazing experience. Its a 5 story building full of innovation. On the first floor we saw the Earth quake Isolation system designed by Japanese. Japan is prone for Earth quake, experiences Earth quake 10,000 times in a year, still we can see lot of Skyscrapers here, all this because of the Isolation system they are using on the building foundation.

Below videos simulates the Japanese Isolation system.

Common people visiting this centre are being educated about Earth quake, what happens on the ground during earth quake and how to construct buildings which can withstand the trimmers. Its really amazing.
