"Annaka, Sixième Relais" (安中 六番目の駅, Annaka Rokubanme no Eki) is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It is part of Hiroshige's famous series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" (東海道五十三次, Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi), which depicts the fifty-three post stations (or relay points) along the Tōkaidō, the major road connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto during the Edo period.

Created in the 1830s, this series is one of Hiroshige's most celebrated works and a pinnacle of the ukiyo-e genre. "Annaka, Sixième Relais" specifically portrays the sixth station on the Tōkaidō route. In this print, Hiroshige captures the essence of Annaka with his characteristic attention to detail and subtle use of color, offering a glimpse into the daily life and travel culture of Japan during the early 19th century.

The composition typically features travelers, local inhabitants, and the natural landscape, reflecting the interplay between human activity and the environment. As with many of Hiroshige's prints, the Annaka station is rendered with a sense of atmospheric perspective, showcasing the artist's skill in creating depth and space within the flat medium of the woodblock print.

Hiroshige's work is celebrated for its artistic quality and historical value, providing insight into the cultural and social dynamics of the Tokugawa shogunate. "Annaka, Sixième Relais" is not only a work of art but also a historical document, capturing the unique character of a specific locale within the broader context of the Tōkaidō road and its significance in Japanese history.

This print, like others from the series, has been widely reproduced and studied, and it remains a subject of interest for scholars of Japanese art and history, as well as for collectors and enthusiasts of ukiyo-e around the world.
