report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 120320A (Markwardt et al., GCNC 13071)
with the optical three color (g', Rc and Ic) CCD camera attached
to the MITSuME 50cm telescope of Okayama Astrophysical Observatory.

The observation started on 2012-03-20 14:11:31 UT (~2.3 h after the burst)
We did not find any new point source within the enhanced XRT circle
(Beardmore et al., GCNC 13075) in all the three bands.
We also could not detect the previously reported afterglow (Levan et al.,
GCNC 13077).


Three sigma upper limits of the OT are listed below. We used
SDSS catalog for flux calibration.
