I hope you're growing it outdoors, where it belongs, but other than that what did you have in mind? Lonicera is very common, grows all over, and is easy to keep.

I would like to train it for a Bonsai container. It has a really good form, does not look like it needs too much pruning and as I said before the nebari really looks interesting.

Well, it's considered a noxious weed and very invasive in all but a few states, so as you might guess, it's naturally vigorous and will grow like crazy if you are able to provide good cultural conditions. It should be evergreen in your zone & should be left on the bench all year. L japonica Should flower all year for you, but while it's developing, you should prune off flower buds (OK, you can enjoy a couple, but prune fruit before birds get at them & spread) ;o) because flower/fruit production saps energy that could otherwise be directed toward increasing biomass. It grows best & flowers most profusely in full sun, but won't like its roots too warm. It's not particular about soil, so your favorite bonsai soil should work well, & it withstands wide variance in soil moisture content.
