Yukinari further improved the Japanese style calligraphy (wayō-shodō 和様書道), and showed great respect to its founder, Ono no Michikaze (894-966).

His style was mild and easily emulated, his lines were dainty and exquisite, resulting in highly elegant characters.

The scroll was made by joining together nine pieces of specially prepared paper known as ryoshi, then dyed in light brown, claret, and other shades.

He left a diary the gonki and a recently discovered book of Ceremonies for annual events called Sinsen Nenchugyoji.
