and N. Kawai(Tokyo Tech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 110915A (Holland et al., GCNC 12335)
with the optical three color (g', Rc and Ic) CCD camera attached
to the MITSuME 50cm telescope of Okayama Astrophysical Observatory
and the Murikabushi 1m telescope of Ishigakijima Astronomical
Observatory.

We did not find any new point source within the enhanced XRT error
circle (Evans, GCNC 12336) in all the three bands.

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

Ishigakijima Astronomical Observatory:
The observation started on 2011-09-15 13:28:55 UT (~8.2 min after
the burst).
