After awhile, you will recognize either the alphabetic lettering -- this is clearly Korean writing -- or the common symbols used on many stamps. Japan often includes a chrysanthemum plus the writing is clearly Japanese. In addition to its own very different writing system, Korea often used (uses?) the Ying-Yang symbol which looks like two tadpoles eating each other.
You can check the catalogues for these identifiers. Many modern stamps also include the country name in our alphabet, Roman letters, which helps -- but not all of them do.
