Which is the correct subtitles?


Due to the fact I can't get it here, I was going to watch this on youtube since it's up. However, I distrust the subtitle caption it has there. Can someone tell me if it's correct?

The youtube caption has it like this:


1630.

13th day of May. Fair skies.


Extremely hot from early in the day.


IYI CLAN JOURNAL


10:00 a.m. - Master Bennosuke...


pays a visit to the Kandabashi mansion
of the Honorable Lord Doi


to present fresh river trout
from the Shirakawa River,


But on other subtitles I downloaded I got this:

Date: 13th Day of May, 1630


Weather: Fair


The heat of day rises hourly


10 am: Hon. Heir Bennosuke


departs bearing fresh river trout


for presentation to the hon. Lord Doi

at His Lordship's mansion


No incidents worthy of note


However,


around midday

an ex-warrior, formerly in the service of
the Lord of Geishu,


appeared at our gate.


HARAKIRI/SEPPUKU


Official residence of Lord Iyi

A former retainer of the Lord of Geishu?


Correct!

My Japanese is not good enough to comment on accuracy of both sets of subtitles you've mentioned, but those from youtube look like subs from Masters of Cinema DVD.
