No idea what this is... Korean & Japanese?

I picked this set of items up at least a couple years ago, it came with some U.S. uniform items. I had first thought that perhaps some was North Korean and perhaps some Japanese, I know the flag is South Korean for sure.

 

Anyone have any ideas on this stuff? The small pins I am pretty sure are Japanese and probably will not be super tough to ID, but the armband and the hanging ribbon thing got me...

 

Thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance!

I am not an expert on Japanese or Korean items.With that said it looks like a mix of both.Obviously the flag is South Korea, the medal with anchor & star looks Japanese and not sure about the other stuff.

I agree on the pins/medal. Anchor and Star are Japanese Naval Infantry. Could have been picked up in Korea as they held the country previous to and through WW2.

The pins are Japanese. The set of two are police collar badges. The star is some type of school. The badge with the anchor is a Veteran's organization (Time expired soldiers league).
