History

It was initially established in 1974 as printed catalogs of "personals" listings, selling addresses to customers who were then able to correspond directly with the women. Eventually, photographs supplemented text listings, then color photographs were added. [2] As of 2001, Cherry Blossoms had evolved entirely to a web-based format.

According to company president Mike Krosky, Cherry Blossoms operates in over a hundred countries, with a focus on China, South America, and the Philippines. [3]

Cases of abuse and murder involving couples who met via Cherry Blossoms include the case of Jack Reeves, who was convicted of murdering two of his wives. [4]
