report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 171115A (B. Sbarufatti et
al., GCN Circular #22124) with the optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD
cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope of Akeno Observatory,
Yamanashi, Japan.

The observation started on 2017-11-16 08:54:06 UT. We did not find any new
point source within enhanced XRT circle (A.P. Beardmoreet al., GCN Circular
#22125) in all three bands.

We obtained following limits for the magnitudes.

T0+[hour]    MID-UT      T-EXP[sec]    g'       Rc        Ic
