report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:
We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 171120A (A. Tohuvavohu et
al., GCN Circular #22133) with the optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD
cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope of Akeno Observatory,
Yamanashi, Japan.
The observation started on 2017-11-20 15:38:32.17 UT. We did not find any
new point source within enhanced XRT circle (P.A. Evans al., GCN Circular
#22135) in all three bands.
We obtained following limits for the magnitudes.
T0+[hour] MID-UT T-EXP[sec] g' Rc Ic

T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
T-EXP: Total Exposure time
We used GSC2.3 catalog for flux calibration.
