Hi anyone today that would know of this two flags ty
Yep it is a Japanese embroidery. 2nd flag is the Japanese flag as well.
These were popular souvenir items for US Navy and merchant sailors of the very late 19th/ early 20th century.
They have value and it is based on size and condition. Many are faded from sun exposure over the years. Yours looks to be fairly vibrant.
Here is one of mine:
