Yes, it is dangerous as earthquakes mostly occur near fault lines, which may cause serious losses and injury. The soil might also not be suitable for building houses there too, as it might be too soft.

Why did Japanese engineers build such a preponderance of nuclear generation plant on a known fault line?

The plants are not built on a fault line. The whole of Japan is 'near' a fault line and there is no real difference as to where you build them in Japan. Also the problem was not the fault (earthquake) it was the secondary Tsunami that has done the damage. The problem is that pressure water reactors need to be build by the sea so that the sea can be used as a heat sink.
