 吳敦厚燈籠店與鹿港分局為鄰，附近有三級古蹟。年過八旬的民俗燈籠彩繪大師吳敦厚，是臺灣最出名的『國寶級』燈籠老師傅。他所製作的燈籠，向來是迎神賽會以及燈會的搶手貨，數作品榮獲政府機關訂購，贈送國際友邦之總統、政要、使節、企業家收藏。
兩道修長的白眉，是吳敦厚的正字標記，他的影像曾經多次成為月曆、郵票、明信片以及愛國獎券的主角。只要一提到傳統燈籠，很多人都直接和這位薪傳獎得主聯想在一起。本身就是一部『燈籠史』的吳敦厚，十三歲那年，憑著個人對傳統工藝的喜好和堅持，加上經年累月的浸淫，吳敦厚終於成為一代大師，馳名中外，近七十年來累積的功力，享有『燈籠畫家』美譽。歷屆總統如李登輝、陳水扁及馬英九總統，皆於任內專程選購。
