Japan_Plans drawn up for world's tallest wooden skyscraper
20 February 2018
"A Japanese company is planning to build the world's tallest wooden skyscraper, to mark its 350th anniversary in 2041.
Sumitomo Forestry said 10% of the 70-storey W350 tower would be steel, combined with about 180,000 cubic metres of indigenous wood.
...
A "braced tube structure", diagonal steel vibration-control braces at the centre of a 350m (1,150ft) wood and steel column, would protect against Tokyo's regular earthquakes, it said."

I am sure they know what they are doing - at least at 70 storeys - that is a very large bonfire!!
Talking of which, I can't help but being reminded of the bonfires I saw in Belfast last July 12th when I was over there on business:
Can you tell the difference?
