Univ.) report on behalf of the OISTER collaboration

We performed I and Ks bands imaging observations around the error
circle of GRB 160601A (Kocevski et al., GCNC 19478) with the optical
infrared simultaneous camera HONIR attached to Kanata telescope of
Hiroshima University. We started the observations at 2016-06-01 16:42
UT. We did not find any optical-infrared counterpart of the burst. Five
sigma upper limits (Vega magnitude) are listed below.
