Her style combines the formal brushwork of the Kanō tradition with a soft, lyrical quality. She frequently chose subjects from classical literature, such as the Tale of Genji or scenes involving court ladies. Her work, such as Minamoto no Nakakuni Visits Lady Kogō, demonstrates her skill with fine lines and subtle ink washes. She also painted nature subjects, including birds and flowers. These pieces often feature waxwings or quails set against bamboo and millet. Her compositions are balanced and avoid the heavy strokes seen in some of her male contemporaries' works.

Modern collectors value Yukinobu for her technical precision and the calm atmosphere of her paintings. Her work fits well in contemporary interiors because of its clean lines and restrained use of colour. Prints of her bird-and-flower studies provide a sense of order and quiet beauty. Her status as a successful woman artist in a restricted era adds historical interest to her pieces. These prints remain popular for their clarity and their connection to the classical Japanese aesthetic.
