What is the relationship between the Kyoto Gion Sino-Japanese Southern Painting Exhibition and the Nominated Exhibition of paintings by Masayoshi Nakazu?

The two exhibitions are independent.

But the curator of the China Academy of Art, Lin Hongjun, was the executive curator of the Nominated Exhibition of Chunghwa Yasho Paintings, and the curator at that time was the famous art critic Huang Huanqing, while now the "Kyoto Gion-China-Japan South Painting Exhibition" is curated by Lin Hongjun himself, and he has invited a lot of Chinese and Japanese artists, such as Zhuo Hejun, Guan Huaibin, Wang Zuogun, etc., as well as Japanese painters, as you have mentioned. The exhibition is curated by Lin Hongjun himself, who has invited many big names from China and Japan, such as Zhuo Hejun as you mentioned, Guan Huaibin and Wang Zuogun, as well as Japanese artists.

The two exhibitions are independent, but they are done by the same team called Art Era. I gathered the details of the exhibitions as follows:
