re: Is this a Chinese, Korean or Japanese revenue stamp?

My guess is that it is from South Korea (Republic of Korea), because the writing in the lower left corner looks Korean to me.

(With the exception of the lower-right, the rest of the writing is in kanji.)

Adding to my own post, the currency symbol for the won is W, and for a period of time (1953-1962, according to Wikipedia), so I would bet the HW shown in the lower right value tablet would pin down the revenue to that period.

re: Is this a Chinese, Korean or Japanese revenue stamp?

It is Korean. Probably a revenue. I do not know from when. It could be from the Korean Empire (before 1910) or from the Japanese occupation period. Most of the writing is in Hanja, the Korean version of Chinese characters. This used to be very common next to the Hanggul script that is now used, but it gradually disappeared after the 2nd world war. According to what I read, in North Korea it is forbidden to use it. In South Korea it has become very old fashioned.

I should have been clearer in my post. It is a revenue, not a postage stamp. And I still think it was issued during the "hwan" currency period, which was 1953-1962.

The Barefoot revenue catalogue lists this as #53 issued in 1953.

Bobggg's stamp is #46 from the set issued in 1952.
