Murasaki Haruan is the Yukimura-ryu 10th licensed instructor (since 2014) and a former professional Mistress (2002-2018).

Murasaki met Yukimura Haruki in 2003, soon after her debut as a professional mistress, when he came to the club where she worked to teach kinbaku. Shortly after, she began assisting him on video shoots, which allowed her to continue learning his style of tying. When Yukimura started to offer formal instruction in Yukimura-ryu in 2006, she became one of his first students. She accompanied Yukimura’s overseas workshops as an assistant instructor in 2012 and 2014. In 2014, she became the first Japanese and first female certified instructor of Yukimura-ryu. After the sudden passing of Yukimura Sensei in 2016, she began to accept a limited number of students with a genuine interest in learning Yukimura-ryu.

Overseas workshops and seminars:

As an assistant to Yukimura Haruki sensei:  LA (2012) Sydney (2014) Melbourne (2014)
Alone after the death of Yukimura sensei: LA (2017) Shanghai (2018) Milan (2022) Berlin (2024 & 2025)

In Japan, Murasaki mainly gives private lessons to high hobbyists and professional mistresses.
