Hikari no Wa or The Circle of Rainbow Light (Japanese: 光の輪, lit. "Circle of Light") is a Japanese new religious movement started in 2007. It was founded by Fumihiro Joyu (上祐史浩, Jōyū Fumihiro), the previous spokesperson and public relations manager of the Japanese Buddhist new religious group and doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo. Hikari no Wa's stated goal is not to influence a particular faith, but instead to help people find a new way to think about religion in their daily lives.
