I know someone who is Chinese & I sent her the picture with the necklace at the top. Here's what she had to say:
"These are two Chinese poems written in Japanese calligraphy. There are many traditional Chinese characters using in Japanese’s language. The upper half of the fabric is a poem of "Winter Snow". The lower half of fabric is a poem of "Cold Wave". Both poems express beautiful scenery in winter and the poet's feeling. The characters on the two red stamps are poets' name. I believe this is a piece of elegant art work."
Hope this helps. Please post pictures so we can all enjoy the bags when they are finished.
