An entropy encoding control unit 13, in the case where the skip flag of a block of an end node in a quadtree structure indicates that the binary tree split flag succeeds, causes the entropy encoding unit 11 to entropy-encode the binary tree split flag and the binary tree split direction flag, and in the case where the skip flag of the block of the end node in the quadtree structure indicates that the binary tree split flag does not succeed, causes the entropy encoding unit 11 not to entropy-encode the binary tree split flag and the binary tree split direction flag, and in the case where a node of a size equal to the minimum size is further partitioned based on the binary tree structure, causes the entropy encoding unit 11 not to entropy-encode the binary tree split direction flag at the node.
