Tenko: Four preliminary ink sketches for various filming locations,

1981-84,
all signed by the artist Kate Osborne who was the Location Production Manager for various episodes, comprising: a scene of the base camp of the main film set in Dorset dated 1981, an interior scene from Singapore dated 1981, another camp scene in Malaysia dated 1982, and a coastal scene in Tanjong Jara dated 1982, all framed and glazed, overall 21in x 15 1/2in (53cm x 39.5cm) (4)

Footnotes

The Tenko series dealt with the experiences of British, Australian and Dutch women who were captured after the Fall of Singapore in February 1942 after the Japanese invasion, and held in a fictional Japanese internment camp on a Japanese-occupied island between Singapore and Australia. Owing to high production costs, only the first two episodes of the first series were filmed on location in Singapore. For the majority of series 1 and 2, set in the camp, the programme was filmed in a specially constructed set in Dorset.

Provenance:
A gift from the artist to Burt Kwouk (b.1930- d.2016) Chinese / British actor, known for his role as 'Major Yamauchi' in the Tenko series.

A proportion of the proceeds will be donated to the Marie Curie Eden Hall Hospice in Hampstead, who looked after Burt Kwouk.
