Japanese cloth patches?

[Ron C.]

I assume the one is likely a torpedoman? What is the other?

Thanks,

I think it's for a civilian working for the military

yep it's a civilian working with the army and the star comes in 3 diferent colours gold, silver and red depending on the rank . . . Or at least thats what I was told . Looking at the makeup of the patch I'd say its a late war version.
