Ivy can be trained as a bonsai, and grows well indoors and out. I am experimenting with an ivy plant now. The leaf reduction capabilities are amazing. I got a leaf the size of my palm down to 3mm. The "trunk" can be encoraged to look barky by with holding water or bruising the surface. I would recommend it for shohin, since getting a fat trunk takes 5-10 years.
