report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 180602A
(Cenko et al., GCN Circular #22752, Osborne et al., GCN Circular #22753, Gropp and Cenko, GCN Circular #22758)
with the optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD cameras attached to
the Murikabushi 1m telescope of Ishigakijima Astronomical Observatory.

The observation started on 2018-06-02 12:38:23 UT.
We did not find any point source at the position of the XRT error
circle in all three bands. We obtained following 3-sigma upper limits: 

T0+[hour]    MID-UT      T-EXP[sec]    g'       Rc        Ic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~4.5      12:51:13.3  1,560   >19.4   >19.1   >18.7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
T-EXP: Total Exposure time
We used UCAC-4 catalog for flux calibration.
