Kawai Einosuke was born the child of Kyo ware potter Kawai Zuho, and was the younger brother to Kawai Unosuke. He was familiar with ceramics from a young age, and inherited the family business together with his older brother.
Before the war, he submitted his works to a number of government-sponsored exhibitions, and received accolades such as the Special Selection Award at the Bunten Exhibition. After the war, he worked numerous times as a judge at the Nitten Exhibition.
He created a wide variety of works, from tableware to tea bowls, which, in addition to traditional Kyo ware techniques, employed exquisite Shinsha (‘cinnabar’), celadon, and blue and white dyeing styles.
