In Japan, the image of the sparrow in the rice fields represents the end of autumn.
Since ancient times, rice has been revered not only as an important food but also as a symbol of wealth and treasure, and it was believed that there was a divinity in rice.
The sight of sparrows in rice fields is a symbol of fertility, a motif that is worn in the hope of an abundant harvest.
This is a motif often taken up in Japanese paintings during the Edo era, for example by Utagawa Sadahide and Utagawa Hiroshige at the beginning of the 19th century.
The sparrow, because of their social life in groups, is also a symbol of friendship and loyalty to Japan.
