"You survived the fall of Iga! Not many of our neighbors did. Our home is a shadow of what it once was."
―Monta meeting Naoe after the fall of Iga, 1582.[src]-[m]

Monta (門太) was a Japanese man who lived in Iga with his wife Shinobu during the late 16th century.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Naoe: "We want to build community here. Allies who will work together."
Monta: "Then let us be on the lookout for you. We'll keep this place safe. Gather information."
—Monta offering his services to Naoe's new community, 1582.[src]-[m]

Following Oda Nobunaga's conquest of Iga in September 1581, Monta and his wife fled west to Izumi Settsu. After some time, they arrived outside a homestead belonging to a woman named Tomiko, where they met fellow Igan Fujibayashi Naoe.[1]

Monta expressed happiness at her survival and informed her of the fate of many of their former neighbours. Naoe then invited Monta and Shinobu to stay at the homestead, which she intended to develop into a community. Monta and Shinobu accepted the offer, volunteering to help out as scouts and gather information for her.[1]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

Monta is a Japanese masculine given name composed of two kanji: (mon), "gate" or "entrance,"[2] and (ta), a common masculine suffix meaning "big" or "great."[3]
