Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank question about Japanese Buddhist architecture, we can refer to historical and architectural knowledge:

Step 1: Analyze the first blank

The new style of architecture that Japan adopted from China (specifically related to Buddhist architecture) is the "Chinese" style. So the first blank should be filled with "China".

Step 2: Analyze the second blank

Buddhist monasteries in China had shrines called "stupas". So the second blank is "stupas".

Step 3: Analyze the third blank

The bell - shaped structure of these shrines (stupas) is "pagodas". So the third blank is "pagodas".

Step 4: Analyze the fourth blank

The Japanese changed stupas to "pagodas" (this is a more detailed description of the architectural transformation).

Step 5: Analyze the fifth blank

These pagodas had "roofs" (the part that could be curved).

Step 6: Analyze the sixth blank

The number of curved "eaves" (a common feature of Japanese pagoda roofs, with 5, 7, or 9 curved eaves being typical).

Answer:

1. China
2. stupas
3. pagodas
4. pagodas
5. roofs
6. eaves

(Note: The blanks are filled based on the historical and architectural context of Japanese Buddhist architecture's adoption and transformation from Chinese Buddhist architectural styles, specifically related to stupas and pagodas.)
