So here is Dutch queen Hatsune Miku!

Pennsylvania Dutch Miku is taking you to the Holy Grail of her cuisine and if you don't hurry you'll have to wait in line for a seat for an hour!!! All you can eat scrapple, shoofly pie (if it ain't wet bottom it ain't dutch), apple butter, whoopie pies, fausnachts, pot pie, and more! All with the only spice being salt! Come on, hurry!!!!

Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch Miku on Marickdaag (or heading to KU folk fest, whichever does it for you) for that cultural Miku exchange.

("It's a nice day, isn't it?" in Pennsylvania German/die Mudderschprooch)

Is there Amish Miku yet?

Not my personal culture, but as someone who grew up in Amish/PA Dutch country, a culture that certainly reminds me of home 🤗

I wonder where she's going? Maybe heading out to grab some groceries or to go play games with the other school kids.

Miku, take me home.

My take on the Miku Culture trend as a mixed person who grew up detached from either of their cultures.

When I saw this trend going around, it made me feel very bittersweet. I’m a mixed person who was not only born and raised in Canada, but to parents who were also born and raised in Canada. My mother has never been to her home country, and my father has only been a handful of times to his. I love seeing everybody celebrating their own diverse cultures, but it makes me yearn for the culture that I’ve never had.

The left Miku is based of traditional dutch clothing. I was going to incorporate the prayer cloth that is very prominent in older dutch fashion, but decided not to because of how much of Miku’s design is her hair. So, I instead opted to give her the iconic dutch twin braids.

The right Miku is based off a mix of Indian + Gyuanese clothing. Finding any sort of reference for Indian-Guyanese traditional clothing was (unsurprisingly) really hard, so I tried to incorporate some of the elements from both cultures that I saw both online and in my own personal life (though those experiences are severely limited). While looking through Guyanese clothing, I saw lots of colourful patterns and colours, so i wanted to implement them into my design :3

To any mixed folks and/or people who grew up detached from their culture: I see you, I feel you, I understand you.
