Гравюра является оригинальным оттиском работы Китагавы Утамаро - одного из признанных гениев японской гравюры укиё-э. Утамаро был очень разносторонне одаренным, как художник работал в разных тематических направлениях, в том числе в иллюстрации с изображениями растений и птиц (жанр «цветы и птицы»), где художник выступает новатором.
Работа является разворотом книги. Лист входил в иллюстрированное издание, в котором изображались птицы Японии в сопровождении шуточных стихов кёка, часто основанных на фольклоре и символическом значении изображённых птиц. В левой части данной иллюстрации находится стихотворный текст, выполненный в скорописной манере, с заглавием: «40. Воробей», то есть это сороковой разворот альбома. Подобные издания, с одной стороны, служили энциклопедиями флоры и фауны Японии, с другой – представляли развлекательную литературу с ребусами, лёгкими текстами и шуточными стихотворными комментариями. В то же время, исполняемые признанными мастерами гравюры своего времени, они были ценимыми произведениями искусства и часто после приобретения расшивались на отдельные страницы-развороты для украшения дома.
Эта работа, тонкая, очень изящная и предельно реалистичная, находит аналогии в крупнейших мировых музеях. Например, в музее Метрополитен (Нью-Йорк) хранятся нерасшитые экземпляры двух томов книги, содержащие и представленную гравюру «Воробей».
