Claim:
1. A picture decoding device that decodes a bitstream in which differential information between a picture that is a decoding target and a picture that is a prediction target is partitioned into a plurality of sub blocks, and the partitioned sub blocks are coded in a predetermined sequence, the picture decoding device comprising: a significant sub block information decoder that decodes significant sub block information that represents whether or not all values of differential coefficients belonging: to the sub blocks are zero; a significant differential coefficient information decoder that decodes significant differential coefficient information that represents whether or not a value of the differential coefficients is zero; a differential coefficient value decoder that decodes the value of the differential coefficients; and a context deriver that derives an index based on the significant sub block information of a decoded sub block that is neighboring a decoding target sub block in a horizontal direction and the significant sub block information of a decoded sub block that is neighboring the decoding target sub block in a vertical direction, wherein the index is capable of distinguishing between four combinations of the significant sub block information of the decoded sub block that is neighboring in the horizontal direction and the significant sub block information of the decoded sub block that is neighboring in the vertical direction, and derives a context used for decoding the significant differential coefficient information of the differential coefficients that is a decoding target based on the index and position of the differential coefficients in the decoding target sub block.
