In Japan, the image of the sparrow in the rice fields represents the end of autumn.
It is common to see sparrows feeding on ripe wheat ears.
It is a sign of good omen and fertility because it represents an abundant harvest.
It is a motif often used in Japanese paintings during the Edo period, for example by Utagawa Sadahide and Utagawa Hiroshige in the early 19th century.
The sparrow, due to their social life in groups, is also a symbol of friendship and loyalty in Japan.
