I went to a Tenjin Bazaar today.
"Ten" means sky and "jin" means god in this case. (In many cases, sky is “sora” and god is “kami”.)
I don’t know why, but in the past people sold used items in the front courtyard of a shrine and called it “Tenjin Bazaar”.
The bazaar is a part of community activities. Most of the time sellers spend the time chatting with friends and neighbors compared than selling things.
I saw a girl who looked about 8 years old. Her mother was getting her a flashy pink dress that looked like it belonged on a doll. She would only be able to wear it on stage. Also, it seemed to be a bit big for her. Her mother might have been thinking about buying the dress as a toy. It probably didn't cost much. The daughter seemed to be very happy.
Thank you!

Second revision as before, Yuri-san. I'll bet it was an interesting looking dress from your description of it.
