Kiyohara Yukinobu

Her father Kusumi Morikage was also a painter and her mother Kuniko was the niece of his longtime teacher and patron Kanō Tan'yū.

Thematically she was skilled in the Yamato-e style but was also notable for producing many works depicting women including legendary figures such as Murasaki Shikibu.

[2][3]: 219, 232–233  Because many of Yukinobu's works are signed and sealed with her name, it suggests she had achieved enough recognition to receive commissions from middle class townspeople and samurai.

A pair of her screens, Birds and Flowers of the Four Seasons (late 17th – early 18th century) was shown publicly for the first time in 2015 as part of an exhibition at the Kosetsu Memorial Museum in Tokyo.

[4] Ihara Saikaku's The Life of an Amorous Woman includes a story in which a courtesan commissions a work from Yukinobu.
