Hi!
Would you correct my English, please?


Tenjin Bazaar

I went to a Tenjin Bazaar today.
Ten means sky and jin means god in this instance. (In many instances, sky is “sora” and god is “kami”.)
I don’t know why, but people sell used things at a front courtyard of a shrine and they call it “Tenjin Bazaar”.
The bazaar is a part of activities of community and most sellers are busier having a chat with friends and neighbors than selling things.
I saw a girl who seemed to be about 8 years old, was getting her mother a pink flashy dress like a doll’s dress. She won’t be able to wear it in town but on stage. In addition, it seemed to be a bit big for her, but her mother might have thought buying the dress as a toy, and it must have been cheap. The girl seemed to be very happy.
Thank you!
