Liz, try this (I'm at work, on a computer with an outdated browser, so I cannot do it).
Go to Google, click on Images, and in the search box see if there is a little camera icon. If there is, click on it, and in the box that pops up, either upload this scan or type in the URL for it http://stamporama.com/upload/2000264150.jpg
Google will find other instances of that image on the web, and, hopefully, you will find out what it is.

Wow! Thank you Tedski. I learned something new tonight thanks to you.
With the help of an on-line Japanese translator I have determined that this is a Japanese Revenue Stamp issued I think on July 24, 2009.

Yes, Tedski, Thank You! I have many stamps that I can't identify using a book, and I'm reluctant to post them and ask for help because there are so many. You've saved what's left of my sanity.
in this particular case, there are a few things that could have led you to a Japanese revenue stamp:
1. The "8" like character on the top of the left column of characters always indicates Japan.
2. The character that looks like "EP" tells you it is a revenue.

Thank you Jan-Simon
I was fairly certain that it was a Japanese issue of some sort, but of course I couldn't find it in the Scott catalogue or the Sakura catalogue.
If the picture is already online, you can simply drag the picture into the image search box.
I'm stumped trying to identify this stamp (?) for a good friend.
Does anyone know which country issued this and if possible the Scott catalogue number?
Many thanks!
Liz
