report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 120212A (Sonbas et al., GCNC 12230)
with the optical three color (g', Rc and Ic) CCD camera attached
to the Murikabushi 1m telescope of Ishigakijima Astronomical
Observatory.

The observation started on 2012-02-12 12:27:12 UT (~3.3 h after the burst).
We detected the previously reported afterglow (Guidorzi et al.,GCNC 12932;
Kawabata et al., GCNC 12935; Yanagisawa et al., GCNC 12936) in Rc and Ic
bands.

Photometric results of the OT are listed below. We used GSC2.3 catalog
for flux calibration.
