*''Titles: Nakatsukasa-shôfu''
*''Japanese'': [[戸川]] 安鎮 ''(Togawa Anchin)''
Togawa Anchin was a [[Tokugawa shogunate]] official who, in the position of [[Metsuke]], played a notable role in coastal defense and related matters in the first years of the [[Bakumatsu period]].
Anchin was named ''Chôsen shinshi heirei yôkakari'' (official in charge of the reception of [[Korean embassies to Edo]]) in [[1847]], though no Korean embassy ultimately materialized. In [[1848]], he was assigned to help oversee coastal defenses, and on several occasions over the ensuing years he performed inspection tours of the coastal defense areas around [[Edo Bay]] and [[Uraga]]. Alongside fellow ''metsuke'' [[Udono Nagatoshi]] and others, he was one of a number of officials who pressed the shogunate in [[1853]] to allow [[Tokugawa Nariaki]], former lord of [[Mito han]], to participate in determining shogunate policy.
Anchin continued to participate in coastal inspection tours and other aspects of service to the shogunate through 1853, but in [[1854]] was dismissed from his position as ''metsuke''.
