cultural self-portrayals of the world

Local artists, local clothing. For every culture, there's a Miku.

This trend of 'Miku worldwide' is a beautiful way to celebrate clothing and culture worldwide: thousands of local artists, thousands of localities. Let's celebrate the world together!

Please help out!

This is not an individual effort! It owes a lot to donated collections (credits), suggestions and submissions. Everything's taken on board.

With that in mind: Have a Miku? Please send to me!

Important info

This is a serious anthropological collection of self-portrayals of clothing and culture!

My queue is colossal, and frequently shuffled. I try to tag properly, though, but please forgive and correct any mistakes!

Please let me know if I have posted from another site if a tumblr version already exists! I don't want to steal people's notes :)

Even if I don't make any commentary (lots to do! aah!), I have looked at every single work of art reblogged: I love the passion and craft and detail and respect. There are so many levels of experience and art styles!

This entire project, site included, is open source!

my blog @mia-hilda has 159 followers. my sideblog @miku-earth has 1575.

This post's reblogs are disabled. Imagine for whatever reason I was trying to avoid harassment, or I made a post which blew up, or I just realised I didn't want my post sharing anymore. Not to matter: my trusty sideblog @miku-earth has already reblogged it with content.

Because reblogs-with-content are now counted as separate posts, there are various awful effects here. They have their own notes – meaning I have no real way of seeing anything put in the post. They can be reblogged – and it's almost certain that if I blocked someone, they'd suddenly be able to reply on a different post.

Artists and authors lose out on reactions, making their works feel small and unseen. Harassers now have new tools to stalk and harass their victims with less recourse or protection. Seeing replies or tags in one place? Nope, everything is silo'd now. Who knows what's being said on your post anymore, if a low-effort, high-follower blog finds a post and says something?

Please file a tumblr support ticket (under Feedback) politely detailing how awful this change is. When this change comes to mobile (and it will), file another support ticket, and review the app negatively. If you are paying [tumblr] money, do consider cancelling.

thank you, Miku!

today (2026-03-09) can be read in Japanese as san/kyu and mi/ku: a date so nice you can pun it twice!

two years ago, one artist made a Brazillian Miku so good it spawned a worldwide trend. there's three thousand all across the world: there's almost certainly a Miku where you are!

come take a peek!

honestly kinda crazy atp not to be talking about it like god damn i don't remember seeing this many dead blogs in one week ever

[girlrottingmalice]

i counted 30/50 of my current follows are ppl who have been banned this week alone. that's fucking absurd and it's only the ppl ive got here who i know have remade and ive found so far this time. i know plenty of girls who have not remade yet or aren't planning to who were deleted this week too. and so many of these were blogs that were years long. fucking hell

[records-of-transmisogyny]

In the hours between seeing this post and finding the energy to write this, this blog too has been banned for the crime of posting while transfem. Indeed, even complaining about the situation is considered a bannable offense.

Is it not damning that this website is less safe for transfem people than the Nazi bar that is Twitter? Is it not damning that this website is overwhelmingly white? Is it not damning that people are harassed, banned and marked as "mature content" with no recourse or explanation? Is it not damning that the owner of Tumblr harassed a user on other websites?

Tumblr is long overdue for another lawsuit. Please submit any and all examples of discriminatory bans and "mature" hypocrisy; it will be archived off-site. Please also follow @find-my-mutuals for mutual recovery, because who knows who it will happen to next.

We cannot ensure not a single instance of Tumblr's incessant racism and transmisogyny is tacitly allowed.

I don't know what else to say other than that we're not alone, and we have to have solidarity.

hi all! to celebrate 3,000 mikus i am. uhm. taking a break 🎉

i've made some lovely tools to help me do what I do, and learned a stupendous amount about the world. the map website on miku.earth is absolutely covered, head to toe, with art for an incredible number of countries and cities and cultural elements and peoples.

But, well, I've been queuing at least seventy posts every weekend (about 1-2 hours?) for half a year. I've started to fall behind a little bit, and if I can be honest… I think it's a good time to stop.

Many, many, many thanks to every contributor, whether you've sent in one post or dozens. And myriad thanks to @awnowimsad: without their help this project would be less than half of what it is.

Thank you all for coming!

Mia @mira-hildegard

P.S. the backlog is still 5000 mikus large: so if someone wants to take over do let me know! just be aware it needs a solid time commitment and also decent programming skills :)
