report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 121108A (Ukwatta et al., GCNC 13952)
with the optical three color (g', Rc and Ic) CCD camera attached
to the Murikabushi 1m telescope of Ishigakijima Astronomical
Observatory.

The observation started on 2012-11-08 18:29:39 UT (~42 min after the
burst). We did not find any new point source within the XRT circle
(Ukwatta et al., GCNC 13952) in all the three bands.

Three sigma upper limits of the OT are listed below. We used
GSC2.3 catalog for flux calibration.
