Bonsai originated in China and was adopted and given the name "bonsai" in Japan. The purpose is to replicate nature in small scale as realistically as possible. The various styles of bonsai copy how real trees grow in different conditions. A bonsai takes years to perfect and will always continue to require maintenance. Depending on what species of tree ou choose to plant and grow as a bonsai it can easily outlive you and potentially last centuries. I got myself Trident Maple and a Creeping Juniper seedlings recently and Plan to turn them into bonsai... altho it'll probably be a couple of years at least before they begin to look like bonsai.

...PS - Bamboo can be cultivated as bonsai.

Well, trees grow pretty slowly and don't change much, so you could probly get away with a couple of hours a month pruning/wiring/doing whatever to your tree and spend the rest of the time just letting it grow.
