Actually, BONSAI means potted plant that is unnaturally dwarfed. The word you are reffering to is BANZAI, which means 10,000 years. It is just a thing that they say when they engage in combat, commit seppuku, etc. They want the Japanese empire to last 10,000 years.

It is both. But, the roots of Bonsai do emerge from the Chinese, and their version of Bonsai was Penjing. (The e in Penjing is pronounced like the u in urban) The art of it dates back to at least 800 years ago, when Buddhist monks from China had handed a miniature plant in a pot to the Japanese as a gift for a certain good deed they had done. The Japanese had shaped, pruned wired and dramatically changed Penjing over the years through culture and inspiration of the people. To answer your question in a simple version, it is both Chinese and Japanese. Bonsai is quite different in a way to the Penjing that we know today, and thorough out Bonsai have emerged new styles of miniature trees, and new techniques, but this wouldn't have been made possible without Penjing.

Bonsai is an art, practiced using trees and shrubs. There is no scientific name for bonsai. Any individual bonsai has the same scientific name as the same variety in the ground. For example, a Japanese Maple tree in a garden is Acer palmatum, a Japanese Maple bonsai is also Acer palmatum.
I have answered this question before, just look up- Is the Bonsai tree Chinese or Japanese?- And you will figure out the answer.

"Bonsai" refers to Japanese Bonsai trees, which can be a great gift for anyone interested in Topiary endeavors. Bonsai trees are small trees that one can trim to create a work of art.
