Shun'ei was a pupil of Katsukawa Shunsho (1725-1792) along with Shuncho (active circa 1780-1801). He was commonly called Kyujiro and used the art name Kyutokusai as well. Like Shuncho, he showed his unique style despite being an artist of the Katsukawa School. He produced portraits of beauties, Kabuki actors and also sumo wrestlers.
