We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 190311A (Troja et
al., GCN
Circular #23946) with the optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD cameras
attached to the MITSuME 50cm telescope of Akeno Observatory, Yamanashi,
Japan.

The observation started on 14:24:43.64 UT which corresponds to
70 sec after the trigger.
We detected the point source at the position consistent with the
afterglow detected previously (Troja et al. GCN #23946; Pozanenko et
al. GCN #23947; Zhu et al. GCN #23948; Gorbovskoy et al. GCN #23949,
Belkin et al. GCN #23951).
The measured magnitudes are listed as follows.
