I still sometimes see people still saying "The three great dojutsu" Actually, Tenseigan doesn't belong to them. "The three great doujutsu" are following: Sharingan, Byakugan and Rinnegan, with the latter being the most powerful of them. Tenseigan became known later on, so it's not surprising he didn't get into their ranks. Moreover, while all these three doujutsu were widely known throughout the shinobi way because of their prevalence (with the entire clans wielding it, i.e. Uchiha and Hyuga clans) or their legendary origins (the legend of Sage of Six Paths and his "godly eyes", the Rinnegan, which was imprinted into shinobi history). Anyway, Tenseigan had no chance to became as famous because it was wielded only by two people (Hamura and Toneri), with both of them awakening and using these eyes only on the Moon, that's why the shinobi world on the Earth just couldn't learn about it. I don't find it surprising as well - Hamura's mere name almost vanished from all the records of shinobi history on the Earth.
