We observed five clusters of galaxies in Shapley supercluster with ASCA; A3562, SC13290-313, SC1327-312, A3558 and A3556, which are candidates for interacting clusters since their separation and relative velocities are only 1Mpc and 700-1000km/s (e.g. Raychaudhury et al. '91, Breen et al. '94, Scaramella et al. '89). Main purpose of mapping observations is to make clear the formation and evolution process of the clusters of galaxies in a supercluster. ASCA gives essential informations of ICM like the temperature distribution related to the dynamics; the interactions due to the infalling and merging events. They are important tests for observational cosmology (e.g. Hanami '93).
