A J-band polarimetric image was taken for V838 Monocerotis with the imaging polarimeter SIRPOL on the IRSF 1.4-m telescope at the South African Astronomical Observatory. A diffuse nebulosity is seen in the north-east and the south-west directions of the central star in the PI image. The polarization vectors reveal a circular feature indicating that the nebulous light is the scattered light from the central star. The polarization degree reaches up to 40-percent in the outer part of the nebula.
