The Christian Community of New Hutterian Brethren at Ōwa (大輪) was a Hutterite colony of the Dariusleut branch in Japan.

The founders of Ōwa Colony wanted to establish communal living modeled after the Buddhist Ittoen (一燈園) commune, but based on Christian principles.

[5] In the early days, there was greater adherence to conservative Dariusleut doctrine, with colonists living an austere lifestyle – this was often learned firsthand, as many founding Ōwa members lived for extended periods in Hutterite colonies in North America, including Wilson Colony.

This caused some friction, with member Katizum Tamura pushing for a more modernistic approach to life, against the inclinations of the conservative First Minister Reverend Izeki.

Despite early hopes of establishing a self-sustaining population, children born into the Ōwa Colony later married outside the community and left.

The demographic outlook of the Ōwa Colony has been described as "grim", and "destined for extinction", mirroring a nationwide Japanese trend of low fertility and an aging population.
