While Yuyuko is mostly based on the works of the poet Saigyou, it’s worth noting part of her backstory appears to reference the legend of Zhong Kui, a popular figure from Chinese folklore (also known under the Japanese name Shoki). Much like Yuyuko, Zhong Kui commited suicide out of despair, but the yamas saw his abilities as too valuable to be wasted and gave him another chance at life, in the role of a ruler (and queller) of ghosts. Their personalities are quite similar too - Zhong Kui is typically portrayed as jovial, smarter than he seems, and arguably an enthusiast of fine dining.
This means that as far as I am concerned, art of Yuyuko riding on a tiger and brandishing a sword would be perfectly respectful towards the official material.
