Arnoldus Montanus, 1680, Ambassades Mémorables de la Compagnie des Indes Orientales des Provinces unies, vers les Empereurs du Japon.

"The rich carriage of Taikōsama (court) lady-in-waiting", a picture from Montanus' richly illustrated 1669 book about Japan. Some modern historians, however, expressed doubts as to whether the members of the Dutch really saw a Japanese court lady in such a vehicle.^[1]

Arnoldus Montanus (c. 1625–1683) was a Dutch teacher and author. He published books on theology, history, and geography of both the Netherlands and far-away countries.

Montanus, a Latinized form of van den Berg or van Bergen, was born in Amsterdam and studied theology at Leiden University. He became a minister in Schellingwoude in 1653 and in Schoonhoven in 1667, where he also became headmaster of the Latin School. He died in Schoonhoven.

His most famous book is De Nieuwe en Onbekende Weereld.
