Kishotenketsu is a story structure that has nothing to do with conflict. (The story may or may not have some, this style doesn't care.) Instead, the plot is presented like this:
1. Ki (Introduction) - Elements of the story (setting, main characters) are introduced.
2. Sho (Development) - These elements are elaborated upon; we learn how characters interact and how everything fits together.
3. Ten (Twist or Surprise) - Suddenly, the story takes an unexpected turn. Maybe we cut away to a seemingly unrelated scene, or something happens out of the blue. It's an element of chaos for the narrative.
4. Ketsu (Resolution/Reconciliation) - The weirdness in the third part gets reconciled with the first two. We learn how the cutaway relates to the main plot, or how our characters deal with the sudden development. The story becomes a cohesive whole again.
Wow! That is a really awesome way to build a story structure. Makes me wonder if there's really science behind the art of story telling..
